Hazel Poulter chronicles the community's evolution from its earliest days of settlement through to the twentieth century, weaving together oral histories, personal recollections, and local lore to paint an intimate and deeply human portrait of Australian suburban life. This revised edition, carefully edited by Jim Poulter, presents an authoritative and affectionate account of a place whose character was forged by the labour, resilience, and ingenuity of its ordinary residents.\n\nRooted firmly in the tradition of grassroots historiography, this work argues that the truest record of a community's identity is found not in government archives, but in the lived experiences of its people. Poulter's prose is warm and accessible, yet rigorous in its attention to local detail, making it an invaluable resource for historians, genealogists, and anyone with a connection to the Templestowe district. The result is a testament to the enduring power of folk memory — leaving the reader to wonder what other untold stories still lie buried beneath the familiar streets of suburbia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160893268187,"sku":"2026200014245-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8bb5af18-76de-4646-bc6c-3649f8646b96.png?v=1787188101","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014245-secondhand-templestowe-a-folk-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
