Description
SECONDHAND BOOK – EX-LIBRARY
In writing this story of the City of Doncaster and Templestowe, the author has avoided entanglement in tedious genealogies and the minutiae of detail which concern the archivist rather than the general reader.
Beginning with the arrival of the first settlers on the Bulleen and Templestowe river flats, the author takes us briskly through a century of municipal life. He tells a lively story of the early days and brings us right up to date with an account of events over the last twenty years or so, events which are already beginning to produce their consequences.
While the book is primarily intended for the reader seeking an uncluttered story of the city’s foundation and growth, the serious student of municipal development will find most of the information he requires, including some statistics selected and arranged to demonstrate the very rapid date of expansion over the last two decades.
