Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The dust jacket is somewhat worn and torn. In 1873 Catherine Currie, her husband and their first child took up an uncleared pioneer selection in the forests of west Gippsland. The daily life of hard physical work was punctuated by the births of children and the arrival of neighbours, and gradually the unforgiving forest was transformed into productive land. All this Catherine recorded faithfully in her diary. But, as the years wore on, her early optimism turned to disillusionment and sometimes to despair, and the diary became a moving private confessional. Books listed here are not stored at the shop.
