Published 1993, 1st edition. This revised history of the Bruce Rock district reflects a deep desire by the community to record the efforts of its settlers for prosperity. In 1929 a Centenary history to celebrate the 100th year of European settlement of Western Australia was produced by the Bruce Rock Road Board, one of the first community histories ever undertaken in the State. This innovative move was furthered when one of the earliest formal studies of a rural community was undertaken at the district's expense by John K. Ewers, a respected Western Australian writer. Published in 1959, Bruce Rock - The Story of a District was a serious and welcomed study of the development of Bruce Rock. Ewer's book has now been updated by Avon Lovell, using materials that has become available since the surge in historical interest that accompanied the 1979 "Way-79" celebration of the 150th year of European settlement of the State. This new book details patterns of life which have been affected by methods of cropping, the impact of computer technology and the effects of international financial tides upon the entire community. Mr. Lovell has the assistance of other writers in the district and this revised history is, in essence, a compilation of the work of many people and who have shown a keen interest in their own family history and the development of their society.
