Description
SECOND HAND BOOK – EX-LIBRARY
Eumemmering covers a large area on the south-eastern (Dandenong) perimeter of Melbourne, Victoria.
With insight and scholarship, combined with a fine literary style, Mrs Uhl traces the development of this once peaceful district into a thriving, modern, industrial zone with its noise, its buildings and its land speculations.
Through it we can follow the evolution of Australia from a primary producing company in the nineteenth century to a rapidly expanding industrial nation in the twentieth century.
Personalities, buildings and landmarks are presented and discussed with loving care, thus making this book one of the most noteable local histories to be published in the last decade in Victoria.
Jean Uhl has had considerable experience in academic writing and has read several papers to the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and has had a number of articles published in magazines and newspapers. Her knowledge of the Dandenong area has been acquired through a number of years of patient research. Her paper “Dandenong – From Slab Hut to City” was published in The Victorian Historical Magazine in 1963.
