About This Item
North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2020. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Black & White Photographs and Drawings. xvii, 330 pages. Castlemaine owes its existence to the alluvial gold rushes which began in 1851. It was at first a ramshackle village known as the Canvas Town clustered around the Camp. After the first land sales in 1853 the town began to take shape and it was declared a municipality in 1855. The first decade is rich in characters and egos. They were astonishingly young, assertive and determined to shape a better way of life. 'The Accidental Town' recreates an era when Castlemaine was poised precariously between a mining camp and a settled town. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. . New. 1st Edition. Trade Paperback.
