A Folk History of the Manning Valley
Helen Hannah
Helen says of this book:
“Every person has a story to tell. My desire to hear and record some of these stories led me to write this book. As well as successful farmers and sawmill owners, I spoke to share farmers, rabbiters, women who dairyed and reared large families, as well as others who are usually forgotten by history.”

by Bill Beach
Home ownership occupies a special place in the Australian psyche providing a strong sense of emotional security and safety. For 26 years Wingham Municipal Council conducted a remarkably successful housing finance scheme that assisted almost 400 local families to own their own home. There is little doubt that the housing scheme differentiated Wingham from many other country towns and is something of which the town can be proud.
