Tall Stories: A Lively History of the Blue Mountains
Author: Michael Duffy / Publisher: Orphan Rock
Most people in the Blue Mountains look down, not up: are they mountains at all? Does Echo Point have an echo, and did Govett really make his leap? As for the story of the Three Sisters… it’s complicated!
World-famous for their natural beauty, the Blue Mountains also possess a rich history. Here it is told by way of lively incidents and fascinating people who have lived and died here, artists and visionaries, climbers and bushwalkers, those on the run.
This is a story of the traditional lives of the Aboriginal owners, extensive mining operations in the. valleys, and strange religious institutions. Of a golden period of tourism followed by years of decline — which preserved its character — and eventual resurrection.
Welcome to one of Australia’s most extraordinary places.
"I met Michael at a tourism event in the Blue Mountains and loved hearing what he’s doing. This book promises to be a lot of fun and interesting facts. Come on up to the Blue Mountains – even when you aren’t around here!
This would make a lovely gift for someone special." - Kara
