This local history study presents a clear narrative of early settlement on the Guy Fawkes and Dorrigo plateau, as Fahey chronicles pioneering families, land selection, transport routes and the gradual shaping of community life in a remote region of New South Wales. It illustrates the hardships, resourcefulness and shifting economic forces that defined the district’s development, offering a grounded account of how an isolated landscape became a functioning rural society.
