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.

Fassifern Centenary CD
I bought this to preserve my original copy of the Fassifern Centenary. I particularly like being able to use the search function and the pages are clear and easy to read. A great alternative to the actual book and a must if you’re interested in the Fassifern area.
