Book in good condition. Cover and pages show some wear from reading and storage. This history of the Dandenongs and the Fern Tree Gully region is a pioneering study, carefully and exhaustively researched but always intensely readable. The author's concern is always with people, and the Gully region possessed from the start its share of entrepreneurs and eccentrics, get-rich-quick speculators and hard-working farmers.
