Greater Than Gold: A History of Agriculture in the Bendigo District from 1835 to 1985 – Colin Webb & John Quinlan

Greater Than Gold is a detailed historical account of agriculture in the Bendigo district, tracing its evolution from early settlement in 1835 through to 1985. Written by Colin Webb and John Quinlan to mark Victoria's 150th anniversary, this comprehensive volume blends research, maps, photographs, and personal stories to document the agricultural foundations that shaped the region—often overshadowed by Bendigo’s gold mining heritage.

This is an essential resource for those interested in Victorian rural history, regional development, and the agricultural transformation of central Victoria.
