Notes From Gelantipy, recorded by Clyde Sykes and published in 1984, presents a firsthand account of life in the remote East Gippsland hill country, offering a rare glimpse into the experiences of settlers in Gelantipy and Wolgulmerang. Sykes documents the rugged realities of cattlemen, dingo hunters, and rural families, illustrating the social history and environmental challenges of Victoria’s high country with clarity and conviction. The narrative uncovers personal recollections shaped by isolation, resilience, and a deep connection to land, enriched by black-and-white photographs and maps that anchor the stories in place. Rewritten and arranged by Colin D. Ferres, the book preserves the voice of a region often overlooked, instructing readers in the cultural and historical significance of its people and practices
