From Goobarragandra to Long Plain – 2 volumes Revised 2nd Edition

The northern Snowy Mountains region is considered to be some of the most rugged and untouched wilderness in the Kosciuszko National Park. Yet, despite the rugged landscapes with perceived limited human impacts, From Goobarragandra to Long Plain describes in detail a rich history of hardship and isolation experienced by prospectors and miners, graziers and drovers, timber getters and sawmillers, and eucalyptus oil distillers. It describes 146 years of European history beginning with Hume and Hovell’s expedition through the region in October-November 1824 and ending with the cessation of grazing in May 1969. The book details for the first time the human side of early European settlement in the region.

Book details ~536 pages; more than 240 previously unpublished historical and contemporary photographs;  24 detailed half-page maps, many of mining sites; 11 full-page maps.
