Arriving at Dugandan in 1844, Macquarie McDonald, his young wife, and his
brother Campbell Livingstone McDonald are said to be the first settlers of the
region. The 'Fassifern Centenary 1844-1944' is a souvenir booklet containing
information about the district from settlement until 1944. It includes a
descriptive history of the discovery and settlement of Fassifern and other
surrounding districts. Also contained in this booklet are some biographical
sketches, some district personalities, names of district council members, a list
and photographs of fallen men enlisted in the First World War from Boonah and
districts, short stories, statistical information and much more.
Contained in 250 pages, this is a wonderful collection of local, historical
information which if not published would quite likely be forgotten. A useful
publication for those with connections to this region.
High quality scanned images of the whole of the original book. This CD has
