Description
SECOND HAND BOOK – EX-LIBRARY
Yea is a thriving centre north west of Melbourne, which is at present celebrating its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
Harvey Blanks, who has scrupulously studied the growth and development of the area, has gathered together a wealth of historical information to recreate in mind and memory the hardy stock – the embryo of the wealthy beauty of today’s Yea: men like William Ker of Killingworth and John Cotton of Doogallook, and others whom Mr Blanks carefully describes. And institutions such as the Road Board, the Yea Orchestral Society, the Free Library, the Courthouse, the Schools; and the Purcells, of whom Yea has known four generations.
The centre today is a bustling community of proud and industrious people, reflecting the work of the pioneers years ago. Yea, then – and now – has always been a credit to the Colony.
This local history must be classed with the finer studies which Australiana has to offer.
