Thanks Anne, funny that mine has no date - I know it was the first edition.

According to the Introduction in the new version, the original book was compiled in 1965.

And the other thing was, it has no date of publication either! Does anyone know when it was published? It would have been in the mid sixties I think.

Dear All, >From Don Watson's 'Caledonia Australis': 'Another member of the Irish ascendancy called William Montgomery...settled on land adjoining Thomsons's Clydebank and stretching to Lake Wellington....The station he managed was called The Heart, perhaps because it was the heart of Gippsland, perhaps because it was there that a band of squatters believed they found a heart drawn upon the ground just after they scattered a group of Aborigines.'
