Yambuk, Vic.: Yambook Book Committee, 1988. A clan and solid copy. 93 pages, illustrated. A local History of Yambuk compiled by local residents. "Yambuk is a small rural town in western Victoria, situated on the Princes Highway 17 km north-west of Port Fairy. European settlement in the Yambuk area was the Yambuk pastoral run taken up in 1843 by Annie Baxter (later Dawbin) who recorded a detailed description of the early pastoral days in her diaries, subsequently published in part in 1873 and 1992. It is thought that the name of the run was derived from an Aboriginal word describing the moon or water. The nearby Yambuk Lake (the coastal mouth of the Eumeralla and Shaw rivers) suggests the latter. Baxter's husband (whom she had left in 1849 and who committed suicide in 1855) opened a hotel in about 1846 and the Yambuk township was surveyed in 1851, adjoining the Shaw River which flows into the lake. A Catholic church was opened in 1857, and an Anglican school and church were opened in 1860. A Catholic church was built in the following year.Much of the original landscape was well timbered, but extensive clearing changed it to undulating grazing and agricultural country. The Victorian municipal directory, 1883, recorded Yambuk as having three churches (the third one, Wesleyan), a fellmongery, an Oddfellows hall and two hotels. There were extensive wheat acreages. In 1892 a butter factory was opened, continuing until 1915." (Victorian Places) . Stapled Card Wraps. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
