Description

A forest story, told from a forester's viewpoint - the view of John La Gerche, one of the first generations of foresters in Victoria, who managed the Ballarat-Creswick State Forest in the late-19th century. It provides an insight into a bailiff-forester's burdens in the 1880s and 1890s.
