"'CATTLEMEN OF THE HIGH PLAINS' records the early development of Victoria's alpine regions by the pioneer cattlemen. They came from the Monaro in the 1930s to reach the "Plains of Omeo", others advanced up the Murray and its tributaries to discover the Bogong High Plains in the 1850s and the Gippslanders moved their herds to alpine pastures in the 1860s. The cattlemen, the snow-plain pastures, the mountain scene and the bush huts are described and illustrated in this volume, compiled by a mountain lover, bushwalker, conservationist whose interest in the "high places" has taken him to the remotest corners of the regions he describes. It is a unique volume, recapturing and recording an era whose history is fast becoming lost. To the bushwalker, the bush lover and the historian, it will become a collector's item."
