Octavo; paperback; 80pp., with maps and monochrome illustrations. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. For some 150 years, from the 1820s to the 1950s, the Burragorang Valley lay in idyllic solitude, virtually on the outskirts of Sydney. Part One of this book is the story of five priests from Sydney who acquired Kiaramba, 174 acres on Scott's Main Range, in 1940 and who built a shack there as a retreat from their parochial duties. The flooding of the Burragorang as part of the Warragamba scheme seemed to spell the demise of Kiaramba, but the emergence of the Catholic Bushwalking Club gave it new life. Part Two is a nostalgic look back on the Old Burragorang. 9780646000367.
