Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book edges. Pages are sunned. Dust jacket has creasing to top edge and is now enclosed in protective cover. Previous owner has inscribed inside page.

The fertile Gnowangerup district has drawn successive waves of settlers to exploit its fruits. Each has been richer for the coming: Indigenous Australians, the seafarers, the sandalwood cutter, the sheep king, the wheat farmer, the stud marino breeder and the ex-servicemen who pioneered in the 1950s.

This story highlights the trends, successes and tragedies involved in the history of this versatile region. (book flap)
