Loved this book, so Interesting to read about all the interesting people that make up the melting pot of Lismore
Kate Stroud –
This book is a priceless collection of all the inedible humans who make up this wonderfully vibrant and eclectic community. This book is an extraordinary piece of history and Denise treats us all to knowing one another more deeply. The nurturing way in which she extracts the truest and deepest sides of the many faces we love and those we don’t yet know that we do. We get the rare opportunity to better understand and appreciate the human in each and every one, revealing the beauty we where yet to discover.

Denise I have been reading your book tonight and loved everything about it. The photos tell so much about your subjects and the accompanying words are revealing and compassionate; your love of Lismore shines through every page. I hope you are proud of all the work you have done to draw everything together. Lismore is very fortunate that you moved here to document us. Looking forward to Volume 2.

I shed a tear at Kristin’s memories of her dad, Peter Den Exter. He was a friend and colleague in the National Parks Association in the 1970s and 80s and contributed a lot to the campaign to save the NSW rainforests. He left us much too soon.

Hi I haven’t read the book, but I played Rugby with Bob Brace in 1976 for a team called the Goolma Polar Bears, we won the Central West NSW premiership that year.
Love to get in touch Bob.

What a wonderful collection of interviews!
I think I came across this as I follow Sue Higginson on Facebook.
She’s an inspiration for many including me.
I was very fortunate to meet her at a Leaders Forum at Sydney Town Hall.
Thank you for sharing these stories such amazing people.

Just one thing I am a little confused about how old Sue was when she came to Australia.
Apart from that it’s great
