Co-authored by Dawn Missen and Anne Trigg, this local history presents the stories of the families, institutions, and landscapes that shaped Beeac — a tight-knit rural community in the Corangamite region — weaving together personal memoir, archival research, and social record into a vivid portrait of Australian country life.\n\nRich in historical detail and written with evident affection for its subject, this volume illustrates how shifting agricultural economies, world events, and generational change left their mark on one of Victoria's quieter corners. Missen and Trigg draw on a wealth of photographs, documents, and oral histories to reconstruct a world that is at once intimately local and broadly representative of the Australian rural experience. For anyone with roots in the Western District or a passion for grassroots Australian history, this is an indispensable record — and a poignant reminder of how much a community can hold within a century and a half of memory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572594970843,"sku":"2026200018777-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b9790edc-0d15-41d8-bcde-4837af1ca0a9.png?v=1791166910","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018777-secondhand-beeac-winds-of-change-1860-2010","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
