Spectrum Publications, Melbourne - ISBN:0867862076, 1997. softcover, 7" x 9½. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode etc. Book in VERY GOOD condition. Heytesbury comprises an area of around 42,000 hectares of highly-productive land laying south-west of Melbourne, Victoria, adjacent to the Otway Ranges. In a relatively short period of time, virgin bush was transformed into first-class agricultural land supporting 378 families; much of it under a Soldier Settlement Scheme following World War Two (and later schemes). This book traces the history of the development from rough scrub to highly-desirable diary, grazing, and softwood production country. Packed with anecdotes, personalities, many photographs (some in colour).
