Summary

Hector Valentine James Hanson Esq., a sort of "knock-about" bloke of over eighty, has lived and worked in quite a few areas of eastern Australia, and like all of us, has a story to tell.
Generally. I believe that the stories of "ordinary folk" are all too often left unwritten.
This book is just part of the history of each place that Hec lived, worked and relaxed, particularly the hilly country of Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.
Hec knew the country like the back of his hand and in many instances could have told various landholders things about their properties that even they did not know.
H.V.J.Hanson is "living history" and the tales related in this book are both interesting and entertaining.
Foreword by Terence J. Wilson.
