AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Barbara Corbett spent an enchanted childhood in Dora Creek (NSW). Even in the 1920s, this isolated community was tangled with cultures of distant pasts, distant places. The joys of country living contrast sharply with the bushfires, floods and then the Great Depression of the 1930s.
