ISBN:- 9780646471563
Yellowdine – Treasures in the Bush
Centred in the Yilgarn of Western Australia this excellent publication is an historical and social account of events which took place not only in Yellowdine itself, but also the surrounding towns of Reen’s Soak, Bronti, Kellandi and Mt Palmer between the years of 1890 and 2006.
The personal stories of railway workers and former residents of Yellowdine bring the history to life, creating a literary collage of personalities, families and yesteryear events. Tourist routes throughout the area are also described and mapped.
It was my great pleasure to help the author, Delys, with some small assistance with research and publicity during the launch of her book in 2007. This book was indeed a labour of love for Delys as she grew up in the area which she loved. She wrote the book with the assistance of her parents Abbie and Allen O’Loughlin and her sister Julie Pritchard.
I would recommend this book highly which is available in the public library loan system. If you wish to purchase a copy they are available direct from the author at:- 7 Fenchurch Street, Alexander Heights 6064 PH: 9343 1519
