From the building of the first Fitzroy River bridge in 1881 and the change from wool to beef, from the rise and fall of the dairy industry to the transition from Herefords to Zebus and Brahmans, this is the exciting story of the dynamic Fitzroy Shire .
From Gracemere to Gogango and from Bouldercombe to Bajool and Ulam, historian Grace Johansen details the development of community spirit and innovation from 1854 to 2003.
