Summary

Olwen Ford’s “Harvester Town” refers to her major historical study of Sunshine, Victoria during the years 1890–1925 — the era when the suburb transformed from a quiet railway junction into Australia’s most famous industrial ‘company town’ built around H.V. McKay’s Sunshine Harvester Works.
