It was not the prospect of quick riches of the gold diggings that brought a landless agricultural labourer to the foothills of world-famed Mount Alexander. This book tells how, through courageous effort, he built up a sizeable horticultural enterprise. With its colourful backdrop of relationships and local events the book brings to life the decisions, moves and sometimes heroic choices made by one pioneer. This is a story that is to be treasured and handed down to future generations.
