Desmond Norman's evocative drawings capture the character of the city's architecture, landscapes, and landmarks, while L. J. Blake's accompanying text grounds each image in its historical and cultural context. Together, the two collaborators chronicle the development of Geelong from its early colonial origins through to its emergence as a proud regional centre, illustrating the unique heritage that defines the area. The tone is warm and celebratory, making it an ideal keepsake for locals, history enthusiasts, and admirers of Australian regional art alike. Part of the beloved Sketchbook series published by Rigby, this volume stands as a lasting tribute to the spirit and character of Geelong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887932616923,"sku":"2026770000307-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ae3c3ad3-af87-41dc-a2a7-6724117c4ff5.png?v=1781749982","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000307-secondhand-geelong-sketchbook","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
