Eumundi Museum is publishing a new book, A History of Eumundi Volume I 1873-1919.
The book is loaded with more than 100 fantastic photographs from the museum’s extensive collection, and covers the first five decades of the town’s European settlement.
The town’s characters are brought to life through the periods of the timber industry, the arrival of the railway, the immigration of the dairy farmers from NSW, the commercial expansion, and into and through the First World War.
It has been written by Eumundi Museum’s director, Joe Hextall, who has built the volume by combining the museum’s own research over the past 50 years and the contemporary newspapers of the day.
It will soon be available for $30 at Eumundi Museum and other shops in Eumundi and across the coast.
A History of Eumundi will be launched on 13 June at 6pm-7pm at Eumundi Museum.
Please RSVP to hello@eumundimuseum.org for catering purposes.
