150 Years Armidale, produced by the Armidale Dumaresq Council, is a richly illustrated hardback that charts the evolution of New England’s heritage city from 1860s gold-rush hub to modern cultural centre. Antiquarian collectors and regional-history buffs alike prize this 2014 volume for its rare photographs, detailed maps and eyewitness anecdotes that bring Australian high-country life into sharp focus.
