When roads were tracks

The subtitle of this book, produced by the Monbulk Historical Society, is 'a history of the roads of Monbulk, Kallista, The Patch & Sherbrooke'. This is a largely pictorial work with photographs, maps plus a brief history of the community at the beginning of the chapter. Information is also provided about individual streets in the area plus details of walking tracks, particularly in Sherbrooke. At the back is an index to streets plus an index to tourist teacks as well as a general index. This is an excellent addition to the history of communities in the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne.
