HISTORY OF STAGHORN FLAT

Been involved with a new site about the history of Staghorn Flat in
north-eastern Victoria, Australia. The site promotes a book, Gold and
Gumboots by Ian Touzel which is the first published history of this
interesting little community near Yackandandah not far from where I live.

Can't wait to read it, the book is being launched on the 9th March in
Staghorn Flat. ""
