Description
SECOND HAND BOOK – EX-LIBRARY
Nurmurkah has been called The Warshield, The Granary of Victoria, The Singing Town and the Garden of the North. This book explains the origin of these titles and traces the multi-faceted of the Shire of Numurkah and its people. Numurkah is a border Shire in the Murray-Goulburn Wedge and its story has everything from river boats to railways, floods to forest industries and squatters to squabbles between rival newspapers. Its chief town became prosperous as a railway terminus last century and as an irrigation centre after World War II, but its greatest strength lies in its remarkable abundance of public-spirited men and women.
