VOICE OF THE MOUNTAINS BACK ISSUES- PLEASE ORDER
So, who has the complete set of Voice of the Mountain (VOM) magazines?
Every year I hear people enquire about the missing few from their set and discuss which volume they need, and how they enjoy looking through the old ones for a walk down memory lane. Who remembers the cover with the Dog's Grave on the front? What year was that printed? Or what about the photos of all of these young Cattlemen who are now our senior members of the Association?
The Journals are a vital part of our history and play an important part of our Australian Heritage.
We are asking for orders for back issues of VOM, volumes 1 to 9.
COST - The price will be $15 per book or $125 for the complete set of 9, plus postage.
ORDER - To order back copies of the Voice of the Mountains, please contact Susan Noble by email or phone 03 51454306.
