Author: Dr Sarah Mirams
The Darebin Parklands are well loved by the surrounding community – but that was not always the case. Only 35 years ago, the parkland was dominated by a municipal tip, was weed-infested, and destined for commercial development. Local people who had a vision for the land and the spirit to fight for it formed the Darebin Parklands Association. The book uncovers past events and perspectives on the landscape, and provides a micro-study into environmental and social change in Australia.
