    3. HI List, In a Castlemaine Book shop yesterday I bought a little book called 'The Calder Highway". Melbourne to Mildura: opening the Victorian Inland. I haven't read it all yet, it has 128 pages, but covers nearly every little town along the route of the Calder Highway. The photos are terrific; mostly from time gone by, and a couple of the new road works. It has a little picture of a Cobb and Co Coach arriving at the Adelphi Hotel at Elphinstone. (from the S.C. Breese Latrobe Collectiion) I love it for the history of my area and think it may interest others who have an interest in the areas covered in the book. Howard Carr is a local Castlemaine district resident and the book published in 2006. Has anyone else read and enjoyed it? Thanks.....Bev
