註釋"Early pioneers extracted and left. What was needed for a prosperous and sustainable life required settlement, stability and commitment. This came from those who remained from the milling years, joined by a diverse mix of settlers from Lebanon, Croatia, the Netherlands, and the war-weary returning home. The earlier pioneers brought the skills and experience of harsh landscapes, meagre conditions and experience in hard physical labour. Succeeding waves of international and domestic migrants, along with the descendants of the early settlers, created a new post World War II mix of entrepreneurs. This developed local business, yet many residents worked outside the town as population boomed."--Book flap.
