In 1948, Wittenoom Gorge was an important mine site for blue asbestos. The same year, Eddie Nelson, a newly qualified teacher, was appointed headmaster and only teacher at Wittenoom School. His two-year tenure was two pioneering years in Western Australia's mining industry. Eddie thrived in the company of outback workers and blossomed as a teacher. (back cover)
