In the rugged wilderness of Victoria's Tambo River valley, fortunes were made and lost in the relentless pursuit of gold — and Time to Remember: The History of Gold Mining on the Tambo and Its Tributaries chronicles that extraordinary era with meticulous detail and regional authority. Keith McD. Fairweather presents a vivid account of the prospectors, communities, and industrial endeavours that shaped one of Australia's lesser-known but historically significant goldfields, mapping the human drama against the unforgiving terrain of the Victorian high country. Fairweather's work stands as an invaluable contribution to Australian regional history, illustrating how the gold rush era transformed not only landscapes but entire social fabrics — drawing immigrants, adventurers, and entrepreneurs to remote river valleys in search of wealth. Written with the precision of a dedicated local historian, the narrative uncovers the forgotten stories of those who toiled along the Tambo and its many tributaries, ensuring their legacy is preserved for future generations. For anyone passionate about Australia's pioneering past, this volume poses an irresistible question: how much of that golden history still lies buried, waiting to be found?
