I love looking at historic photos of this wonderful city we live in, so when I heard about this book, I had to hunt down a copy for ourselves. Lost Melbourne by Heather Chapman and Judith Stillman is a history book with a difference…it focuses on what we have lost over time as progress marches […]
I had seen this book in a few shops on our travels, so decided to reserve it at our local library as I wasn’t sure if it was worth buying…but I was wrong. If you are looking for an excellent holiday read, then grab a copy of The Dress by Kate Kerrigan….I absolutely loved it! […]
