Description: Nestled where the Ovens River bends beneath the peaks of Victoria's high country, Porepunkah is a small township with a remarkably layered story. From the enduring presence of the Kulin nations and the rush of gold-era settlement to the tobacco and hop farms that shaped generations, this book traces the forces — human and natural — that have defined the valley. Along the way, it explores the river system, local architecture, and the town's modern reinvention as a cycling and recreation hub, offering a rich portrait of a place where landscape and community remain deeply entwined.
