End Notes

With the final edit over, I’m at the happy stage of writing the bibliography and acknowledgements for my new novel, The Cattlemen’s Daughter - out in October!

Again I have to stress my gratitude to living legend Ian Stapleton, who inspired me to tell my story.

Ian is a go-giver who has established outdoor centres for troubled kids and who has beautifully recorded the history of the Victorian Alpine region, where my fictional book is set.

The two books photographed influenced my work greatly. Ian’s titles include Hairy Chested History, From Fraser’s to Freezeout, From Drovers to Daisy Picker and Weatherbeaten Wisdom.

If you are interested in the history of the High Country of Victoria and want to buy Ian’s books, write to Ian Stapleton, Feathertop Track Harrietville, Vic, Australia, 3741
