This absorbing local history spans exploration of the Diamond Valley area in the 1830s to the time of severance of the Valley from the Shire of Heidelberg.
The cast of The Diamond Valley Story includes explorers, early settlers, gold miners, bushrangers, artists, tradesmen, entrepreneurs, railway navvies, and orchardists. The scenes include pioneer homes, floods, fires, sports, schools, social events, law courts, hospitals and pubs.
Many of the photographs included are the work of Albert Jones, a local photographer of Wattle Glen who left a splendid record of people, places and events in the Diamond Valley. (book flap)
