AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'he town of Goroke (population six hundred) stands almost exactly between Melbourne and Adelaide, in the Wimmera region of Victoria. It is, in many ways, a typical small country town. If you drive there in the morning during late spring or early summer, you’ll need to slow the car to avoid kangaroos on the road. Magpies are everywhere. Horses and other livestock mope and sway in front and backyard paddocks just off the main street. Everyone knows everyone, and newcomers to the town, often short of money and used to hardship, either find their niche or move on.' (Introduction 28)
