Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
This book gives the reader a great deal more than historical facts and figures. From the day that Major Sir Thomas Mitchell first sighted this country until the present day, a stirring story unfolds. In many instances it is related by early settlers in their own words, and contains more wisdom, courage, pathos and humour than could be found in any work of fiction.
The legends and customs of the dusky tribes who first inhabited the land have been faithfully recorded. The birth of a progressive town in a beautiful lakeside setting, together with the development of almost a thousand square miles of country sprinkled with tiny townships and rural communities, give a true and enthralling picture of the past and present in the district of Boort. In one aboriginal dialect the name means smoke.
