John Adams, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, chronicles the rich and turbulent past of the Baw Baw and Walhalla country within the Narracan Shire, tracing the arc of European settlement from the fever of the gold rushes through to the growth of a distinctive regional culture rooted in the landscape of the Victorian highlands.\n\nAdams writes with the precision of a dedicated historian and the warmth of someone deeply connected to the land and its people, weaving together local records, personal accounts, and broader historical context to present a portrait of a community shaped by both fortune and hardship. Mountain Gold stands as an invaluable record of a corner of Australia that played an outsized role in the colonial era, and it raises a tantalising question: how much of that glittering past still lies buried beneath the mountains, waiting to be uncovered?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216215220443,"sku":"2026200013104-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3f17477e-fca9-440a-8cd8-0399640ec405.png?v=1788405514","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013104-secondhand-mountain-gold-a-history-of-the-baw-baw-and-walhalla-country-of-the-narracan-shire-victoria","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
