| THE HERBERT RIVER STORY
The Hinchinbrook Shire Council using its own
funds and some supplementary funds through the Q150 Community Fund
Program has commissioned the writing of a history of the Herbert River
district.
A local author Bianka Vidonja Balanzategui has
taken on the task and together with the cover design by another local,
Anthony Vardanega, there are high hopes for the book.
Our community has been sadly lacking in a
readily accessible record of our history and now utilising the vast
resources of the Hinchinbrook Shire Library's Local History Collection,
the story will be available in single volume and very readable.
The Library has instigated the project and
continues to oversee it's progress.
Dedicated to Bob Shepherd, past editor of the
Herbert River Express and avid amateur historian, the book is sure to be
popular. Register your 'no obligation' Expression of Interest in purchasing
a copy at either Ingham or Halifax Library.
IN STORES EARLY 2010!!!!!!!!
