Our side of the country: the story of Victoria by Geoffrey Blainey (Second Hand book)

SECOND HAND BOOK

‘When the first settlers came with their sheep to Victoria, the common practice was to call the people who lived north of the Murray River the Sydney-siders. Those who lived south of the Murray were said to be on ‘our side of the country’.

In this lively book, Geoffrey Blainey traces the history of Victoria since the time Aborigines could walk across Bass Strait. Our Side of the Country captures the feel of life in Victoria in various eras – how people lived and worked in the cities, goldfields and farms, how they spent their leisure and what was distinctive about their way of life.
