A richly detailed work of Australian regional history, From Drovers To Daisy-Pickers: Colourful Characters Of The Bogongs chronicles the vivid lives of the remarkable individuals who shaped the high country of the Bogong region in Victoria, Australia. Ian Stapleton presents a sweeping cast of drovers, cattlemen, bushwalkers, and seasonal workers — the so-called daisy-pickers — whose stories are woven into the rugged landscape of the Australian Alps. Written with warmth and a deep affection for the region, the narrative illustrates how these characters, often overlooked by mainstream history, left an indelible mark on the cultural and social fabric of the high plains. Drawing on local lore, personal accounts, and historical records, Stapleton paints an affectionate and authoritative portrait of a way of life that has largely vanished, ensuring these colourful figures are preserved for future generations.
