Description: Tucked into the folds of the Hawkesbury, Webbs Creek is a place where sandstone escarpments, winding waterways and generations of stories converge. This richly layered portrait traces the valley from its ancient geological beginnings and deep Darkinjung and Dharug heritage through the arrival of cedar cutters, the rhythms of orchards and timber, and the ever-present forces of fire and flood. Blending landscape, history and community, it offers a thoughtful journey into one of New South Wales' quietly remarkable corners. A compelling read for anyone drawn to the hidden pockets of place that shape who we are.
