The History Of The Shire Of Romsey
Biography & Memoir History Local & Regional History
The History of the Shire of Romsey by John Reid is a richly illustrated 1992 hardcover that traces the evolution of this Victorian community from early settlement to modern shire life. Published by the Shire of Romsey History Book Committee, the 242-page reference blends biographies, true stories and local records to create an engaging portrait of rural Australia.
This vintage local history arrives with its original dust jacket and has been personally inscribed, adding a human touch to the already intimate narrative. Generous photographs, maps and archival sketches bring the shire’s landmarks and families to life, making the book as visually appealing as it is informative.
The binding remains tight and strong after three decades, and the volume comes from a smoke-free home. A few pages show faint pencil ticks beside paragraphs, evidence of a previous reader’s curiosity that does not obscure text. It is an ideal addition for collectors of Australian history, educators seeking regional resources, or anyone with roots in the Romsey district.
Whether you are researching family connections or exploring cultural heritage, Reid’s meticulously documented work offers a window into everyday life across Victoria’s changing countryside.
