Who were the three sisters? Is the Hydro majestic? Did Govett really leap off a cliff? Does Woodford have a ghost? Its not all cosy winter fires, coffee shops and fresh clean air. The villages hide many strange and exciting stories.
The 2nd edition of this popular book with over 100 new images and updated text come in a newly revised format. The shifting seasons, ever-changing colours of the cliffs and sky and character-filled villages make it a special and fascinating place. Take a look beyond the highway, at the places, people and stories of the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
About
Magda Cawthorne
THE BLUE MOUNTAINS YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW!
As a writer and photographer who lived in the Blue Mountains for over two decades I asked questions about every day sights - places, names and people.
As the author of two editions of Hidden History of the Blue Mountains, the answers surprised me! Now, I am working on a book on the Sunshine Coast.
My interest in local history came about when I co-founded a local magazine, 'The Mountains Blueberry'. As a freelance writer who has written newspaper stories and research papers I developed an interest in retelling local history in a meaningful connective way through contemporary images and words.
I studied photography at Sturt University, Visual Arts at UNE and have a particular interest in street photography as it captures the changing world we live in.
With this book, I hope to share my love of the Blue Mountains with you, capturing a little of the beauty and sense of place, of this unique part of Australia.
