Description: Journey into the heart of northeast Victoria with this richly layered portrait of Euroa and its surrounding country. From the deep time of Taungurung custodianship and the geology of the Strathbogie granites to the arrival of squatters, the audacious 1878 Kelly Gang bank raid, and the rise of a railway and wheat town, this book traces the many currents that have shaped a distinctive rural community. Chapters on wool, water and the farming year sit alongside practical guides to walking the streets and ranges, making it equally rewarding for armchair readers and travellers seeking to know the region on foot.
