Author: Digger Schumann

The recollections of those which Digger Schumann remembered from his early life whetted his appetite to write them down. He traces his family lines back to Germany and tells how they, after arriving in Australia, helped to open up “The Scrub”. He writes about his school years in Marburg, his joy of swimming in the Black Snake Creek and how people were living in those days.

A delightful story that gives the reader a very good picture of what life was in and around Marburg from 1875 onwards.
