38 degrees South, Australia Felix. Hedditch, K. 2009.Program Print, Hamilton, Victoria

Excellent.  Covers the transformation of Victoria following European settlement and the influence on water resources, aboriginal peoples and culture, forests  the lot!  It reads a picture in your mind of the drastic and often violent changes which have occurred in the last 230 years and also gives history to many of the common names which label our most famous landmarks such as highways, rivers and bays.  A sad account of the demise of promised land. ($35)
