A Glimpse of Yesterday in the United Shire of Mount Alexander (Book 1)

Toward the end of the 1880s, when the organisation’s historical collection had started to grow, a suggestion was made at a meeting and reported in the Mount Alexander Mail “that perhaps the Pioneers could produce a Pictorial history of the Shire”.

The Accidental Town. Castlemaine 1851 - 1861. By Marjorie Theobald.
$30.00 AUD
Castlemaine owes its existence to the alluvial gold rushes which began in 1851. To cope with the crisis, Governor La Trobe established four Gold Commissioners' camps - at Castlemaine, Bendigo, Ballarat and Beechworth. While many centres of mining dwindled to names on the map, these administrative centres developed into permanent towns. 'The Accidental Town' recreates an era when Castlemaine was poised precariously between a mining camp and a settled town.
