Seems I'm on a "book kick"! Sorry I'm a bit late with this. >From the Ovens & Kiewa Valley Echo, 15/5/2002............. " The official launch of Vivienne McWaters' book "Beechworth's Little Canton" will take place at the Chinese Protector's Office, Beechworth Historic & Cultural Precinct, 102 Ford St on Sunday May 19 at 2 pm. The book presents a fascinating insight into life on the goldfields for the Chinese and follows their story from the community's peak in 1860 through to the 1920s. The book details the highs and lows of Chinese life, from the pinnacle of their cultural, social and economic impact on a wild gold town, through to their demise as a small and isolated community".
