Foothill Farmers The Literature Of Gippsland

Biography & Memoir History Australiana

Patrick Morgan’s Foothill Farmers: The Literature of Gippsland gathers the region’s rural voices into a vivid cultural portrait. This illustrated 2010 paperback surveys diaries, letters and local lore to show how Gippsland farming shaped Australian identity.

Ideal for students of agriculture and cultural history, the 141-page textbook pairs concise analysis with rare archival images. A gift inscription on the front endpaper adds a personal touch without obscuring the author’s text.

Clean, tight pages make the book a ready reference for YA and adult readers curious about Australian horticulture and small-town resilience. Expect cover scuffs and light shelf marks; inside, the content remains bright and unmarked.

Collectors of regional Australiana, country memoirs and art-and-culture titles will appreciate this accessible introduction to Gippsland’s literary heritage.
