About this objectContents:
The forgotten country of the Yarra Valley 1837-1851
The arrival of the first of the valley's hardnosed squatters
But who actually owned the land of the Yarra Valley?
Loss of land, loss of resources, loss of culture, loss of heart
Failed protectorate and native police. Now squatter law only rules
The final sad fading away of the Aborigines
The long-overdue entry of 'the pioneers'
Slowly the land goes into mourning
The new digger world arising
The hidden cultural landscape of the Yarra Valley
A fresh start along the rocky road of Aboriginal reconciliation
Kulin vegetable foods, drinks, medicine and other resources
Includes illustrations, maps, bibliography and index
