Suburban Heartland by Lesley Alves invites readers into the quiet drama of Whitehorse, tracing how post-war streets and gardens shaped Australia’s suburban identity. First edition paperback, 312 pages, loaded with local maps that chart everything from tram routes to tucked-away heritage homes.

This copy carries the author’s own signature on the title page, a bonus for collectors of Australian local history. Light exterior scuffs and one small mark on page nine are the only wear; the binding is square and unread-feeling, ready for your shelf or research desk.

Alves blends municipal records with neighbourly memories, making the book a go-to for genealogists, heritage walkers, or anyone curious about Melbourne’s middle-ring suburbs. Out of print in this format; snag it while you can.
