About this product
Product Information
The Vanished Land is the Western District of Victoria stripped of its identity, its social elite of grazing dynasties departed for their own reasons. The melancholic exodus has increased recently as the myriad pressures of holding inherited land have become intolerable in a nation never intimidated by ditching its past. This historic plain of fecundity demands an investigation of its ending as the home of a ruling class that for 150 years bestrode an Australia riding on the sheep's back. The Vanished Land is a human tale of leaving, of a disconnect with the land, of submerged anguish and inhibited grief, a private story of loss told for the first time by an outsider with insider connection.Product Identifiers

The book is aptly named in my view.
This is a book mainly of interest to those who either live or who have lived in the Western District of Victoria as it does seem to be typical of how the so called upper class tended to live their lives in the 50's and 60's when wool was a pound a pound and Australia rode on the sheep's back as the saying goes. One or two of Richard's facts are not correct but one gets the general gist of live in those days and how things have changed for the better in some ways and not in others, since those days.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
