Biography & Memoir History Local & Regional History
The History of the Shire of Romsey by John Reid is a richly illustrated hardback that charts the evolution of one of Victoria’s historic communities from early pastoral days to 1992. Published locally by the Shire of Romsey History Book Committee, this 242-page reference belongs on every Australian local-history shelf.
This vintage copy arrives with its original dust jacket, tight binding and the added charm of a personalised gift inscription—perfect for collectors who appreciate provenance as much as content. Light pencilled ticks beside a handful of paragraphs hint at a previous reader’s curiosity, yet the pages remain crisp and smoke-free.
Ideal for adults and young researchers delving into Australian cultural studies, biographies or true stories, the book weaves together township records, photographs and first-hand accounts. Whether you trace family roots in the region or simply love regional histories, Reid’s meticulous chronicle delivers a vivid portrait of rural Victoria.
