Description: Journey to a small village on the Clarence River where deep time and living memory flow together. From the enduring presence of the Bundjalung people and the arrival of cedar-getters in the 1840s, through the boom years of steamers, sugar and dairy, to the floods that have shaped every generation, this vivid local history traces how Lawrence came to be. A rich portrait of a river community that has weathered change while keeping its quiet, unhurried character intact.
