Summary:
This richly detailed and beautifully illustrated history traces the story of Thologolong Station in the Victorian Upper Murray from 1885 to 1933. Focusing on the lives of Peter and Ina Sutherland and their twelve children, The Days That Are No More explores pastoral life, pioneering challenges, community contribution, and family tragedy, including the loss of two sons during the First World War.

John Henwood documents the rise of a significant Angus cattle stud, the development of the Murray Grey breed, and the eventual sale of the property for the Hume Dam project. With photographs, genealogy, and evocative storytelling, this is a heartfelt tribute to a family and a pastoral world long vanished but not forgotten.

Why you’ll love this book:
A superb resource for readers interested in pastoral heritage, Upper Murray history, pioneering families, and Australian genealogy. The visual material and family records make it especially valuable for regional researchers and collectors.
