About the Book
I wrote this book primarily for my children, their cousins and offspring. I wanted them to know about the life that my family and I experienced growing up in the 1950s-70 in Hopetoun, a small country town in the southern Mallee of Victoria. I also wanted them to know about the huge contribution made by my parents to the community of Hopetoun and the rural industry in Australia.
