The Fassifern Story
A reprint of The Fassifern Story ’by C.K. Pfeffer is available for purchase from the archives.
This book, originally published in 1991, immediately recognised the Ugarapul First Nations people who lived on this beautiful land before the explorers moved up from colonial New South Wales.
