Description
Book SynopsisPeople have been visiting and living in the Victorian Grampians, also known as Gariwerd, for thousands of generations.
Gariwerd explores the geological and ecological significance of the mountains and combines research from across disciplines to tell the story of how humans and the environment have interacted.
Trade Review"There is so much detail over a wide range of Gariwerd subjects that it is enough to point out that Benjamin Wilkie's book is highly informative and a very welcome addition to our district's literature." -- Roz Greenwood * Dunkeld and District Newsletter, Issue 11 *
"Despite being written around the rather abstract concept of ‘nature’, the joy of this book is its firm hold on the physicality of Gariwerd. Wilkie created drama from the fluctuating seas, the resting sediments and evolving plants and animals. Wilkie’s is a prose that is clear, concise and informative, with a warmth that entices the reader to engage not just with his words, but also the place." -- Sarah McMaster * Australian Historical Studies 51(4) *
