Book Description Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condition: Near Fine. ÂWEST AUSTRALIANA#190923/090524 xvii, 412 p. : ill., map on endpapers, ports. ; 25 cm. Western Australia. Plantagenet Shire, 1827-1977 Plantagenet (W.A.) -- History First Edition. Plantagenet County was explored in 1829 by Surgeon T B Wilson RN, then later by Governor James Stirling and charted by Surveyor Septimus Roe. The resulting map showed forests and valleys of good land, lakes, swamps, lagoons and rivers. Between the Kent River and the Hay River was "Rich and beautiful country". Aboriginals knew it well and had thrived on its bounty for countless generations. But the second comers, the differently cultured white immigrants forced out of their own land by poverty and a yearning for a better life, had much to learn ? even for survival. The way they learned is the theme of this history; its scope a century and a half of endeavour and achievement. To preserve the now-remembered and re-create the climate in which the first white settlers began their Australian life, the Plantagenet Shire sought help from the authors, before the old family tales had been forgotten and precious letters and records destroyed. Transportation and the opening of the Convict Hiring Depot at Albany brought benefits to the settlers. The convict gangs cleared and formed the Perth-Albany road. Educated ticket-of-leave men became tutors to reluctant young scholars, hitherto taught spasmodically by elder brothers or sisters. Others were employed on farms or on such building projects as the Hay River Bridge. With better roads, adventurous new settlers took upland further a?eld. A period of tranquility allowed consolidation. But this was effectively shattered by the traumas of two world wars and a Great Depression. Recovery came with the discovery of ?trace elements? and subterranean clovers which revolutionized the management of pastures. The returned soldiers were settled on farms. Sheep and cattle numbers increased rapidly, as well as the need for new farm lands. For this, the bulldozer made clearing easy and innovative and new-type machinery modernised the farmers? work. Government-assisted settlement farms became available in Denbarker and Rocky Gully. Other challenges were taken up at Narrikup, Porongurup, Kamballup and South Stirling. A new era had begun.
