|
||||
 |
'Oasis in the West' was
written in 1985 by Michael Jones to tell the story of the first 100
years of Strathfield Municipality. 'Oasis in the West' is a
celebration of Strathfield's first 100 years [1885-1895]. The book
tells the history of the town of Strathfield in New South Wales from the
time when the first free settlers tried to establish farms in 1793, to
the date of publication in 1985. It covers information on the
railway lines, early pioneers, magnificent housing, social diversity,
schools and churches, the garden city, the fight against amalagamation
and the survival of a unique and beautiful residential community.
The book has long been out of print but for the 120th anniversary of Strathfield Council, a special CD-Rom version of the book was produced. The CD-Rom was produced by Archive CD Books and is fully searchable. |
