There Was A Time: A Shire of Wangaratta Bi-Centenary Celebration by Graham Jones (Second Hand Book)

SECOND HAND BOOK

Excerpt from Introduction:

“The Shire of Wangaratta covers 919 square kilometres of river flats, plains and gently undulating country, bounded by the Warby Ranges in the west, and the foothills of the Australian Alps in the east.

… Few Shires in Victoria can match the beauty and variety of its scenery, the high percentage of fertile land within its boundaries, and the reliability of its rainfall. It seems blessed with everything nature and human ingenuity can provide.

… In short, the reader is asked to view this book, not as a definitive history, but as an introduction to periods and incidents in our past which have been all but forgotten today, and to use it as a guide book, to chart a course back through time, so that we may catch a glimpse of the travellers who have been on the road before us.”
