Blackberries and Golden Wattle

<p>'Aunty Hilda was a born countrywoman tuned in to Mother Nature from the start with a keen eye for detail character and sense of recall. Memoirs like this - from a farm setting humble yet charmingly adventurous a century ago - deserve respect within the increasingly urban sprawl of the Hills district she once explored so closely. ' - Judy Pearce  </p><p>'<em>Blackberries and Golden Wattle</em> is an evocative and delightful life story of three families of the fragility of life resilience and recollections recounted through the eyes of the author. A social history which sketches the development of an era a journey of exploration and endurance through hardship struggles love and kindness. The resilience of these generations is celebrated when the author successfully achieves her dreams and a new beginning. It was only in later years that she appreciated the enduring bond with her father who was her rock.' - Janice Nitschke Manager Libraries Tourism and Information Services at Wattle Range Council</p>
