Palmers'
Outback Legend
by
Deanna Wilkinson
a
Printed Book ISBN:
O 9578008 19
Synopsis:
This book is a family saga
that spans three generations and focuses on the characters of three men
and their true life experiences.
It begins in the mid-nineteenth
century when gold was first discovered in Victoria in 1854, the year
of the Eureka Stockade.
The story moves to Western
Australia when alluvial gold was discovered in Kalgoorlie and throughout
that region. It tells stories about the gold prospectors, and the
lives of the people in the mining towns of that era. It tells the
stories of the Royal stagecoach, when goats were used for milking and billy-goat
races. The book tells how donkeys and camel teams brought in the wool from
the sheep stations and carted precious water back on the return journey.
The book goes on to tell how the land was opened up in the pastoral station
country and harsh conditions that people lived under while clearing the
land with true pioneering spirit.
The times of the great depression
were hard and men were forced back to underground mining for gold.
Eventually a desire to settle on land was achieved when they were able
to buy a land holding in the fertile south west of Western Australia.
A dairy was established and later this was converted into a mixed farming
operation before their eventual retirement.

| About
the Author:
Deanna
spent her early childhood on a mixed farming property south west of Perth
in Western Australia with two brothers and a younger sister. She
completed a commercial course at a business college and then worked
for a traveling accountancy firm, a timber hardware business and a motor
sales business. She met and married her husband who is a farmer.
During her married life she has held a number of committee positions and
she does voluntary work within the community. Deanna has kept very busy
as a wife and mother and helping her husband with many of the farming duties.
Throughout
her early childhood Deanna’s father loved to share many interesting and
entertaining tales of his life in the Australian outback. After her
mother passed away it became apparent how important it was that she record
her father’s memories. She felt that the stories he told were a significant
part of Australia’s pioneering history and it would be a shame if all were
lost.
Writing
her fathers biography was the biggest challenge of her life as it has taken
her nine long years of research before the story of “Palmers’ Outback Legend”
was finally published.
