History Local & Regional History
From Boudry to the Barrabool Hills: The Swiss Vignerons of Geelong by John Tetaz charts how 19th-century Swiss immigrants transplanted their winemaking craft to Victoria’s Barrabool Hills, creating a little-known chapter of Australian viticulture.
The copy carries a neat previous-owner inscription on the flyleaf, not a signature from the author. Light scuffing on the cover and a gentle spine bump testify to shelf travel, yet the pages remain crisp, unmarked and free of smoke or dog-ears—ideal for reading or regional reference.
Collectors of Australian wine history, Swiss-Australian genealogy or Geelong district studies will find this narrative both readable and hard to locate elsewhere.
