The Round: A History of the First Century of Racing on the Western Australian Goldfields by Norman Healy and edited by Jeffy Maher

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly tail corners, which are now protected with book tape.

The first race held by the Kalgoorlie Boulder Racing Club was in August 1896. This was not the first race on the Goldfields, nor was it the first race in what was to become famous as the 'Round'.

Those stories and much, much more are recalled in this book, which attempts to put together the history of racing at Kalgoorlie, Boulder, Coolgardie and surrounding areas since the 1890s. (back cover)
