Deltroit and the Valley of Hillas Creek A Social and Environmental History

Deltroit and the Valley of Hillas Creek A Social and Environmental History by Nicola Brown, published by Melbourne Books in 2012.

It takes vision and fortitude to transform 'wilderness' in the Murrumbidgee basin into something of the eminence of Deltroit, one of the finest grazing properties south of Sydney. Who was it that achieved this, how was it done, and why did this iconic Riverina property, about which nothing has ever been published before, end up in the hands of King Ranch, Texas, a giant in global beef production? What is it about Deltroit that continues to seduce and set the benchmark in modern pastoralism?

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history.
