    I am very interested in learning more about Kanowna. One of my ancestors left England and went to Kanowna for the mining. He married a local girl in 1900 and they had three children. I would like to buy the book. Can you advise me where I can purchase the book. I live in Canberra. Estelle Barnes

    I would be interested in this book. My grandfather has a history in Kanowna and his brother Fritz Haack had the hall there. They had a condensing plant.
