Apart from a gift inscription on the title page, with a signature that might very well be the author's as it's illegible, the book is as new. "In this book, the author " recounts the stirring tale of the small town campaign by Dalgety and Orbost to restore water to the legendary river - a lopsided battle waged against powerful commercial interests and governments that did not want to know.
