Addictive and Delicious Cooking Books.
That's just me addicted. I'm not sure what it's about maybe it's just the imagination, but cooking shows have created a motivation in many to try delicious new things. In my case it's more about living in a small country town that lacks the diversity of food in the city. Don't get me wrong there is fabulous fresh produce to be sort in the bush and that is the other drive to learn to create beautiful meals from the fresh ingredients that are local.
This month Lateral Canvas ebay book store is listing a variety of various cook books to explore. Some take you back to your Grand mothers cooking era and explore the basics with historical stories of a different era.
There is also some gem collections of Microwave Cooking, Margaret Fulton, Spices, Stews, Soups, Curries, Seafood and More.

Rare Vintage Gold Mine Map of Grampians 1960.
Rare Vintage Gold Mine Map of Grampians 1960.
This month Lateral Canvas has brought out a selection
of historical and rare Walking Magazines.
Along with these publication comes a range of Maps.
This particular Map is a Mines Map of The Grampians Victoria 1960.
"Geology ( Sourced From Victoria's Grampians National Park Web Site )
The Grampians National Park was declared on July 1 1984. It covers 160,000 hectares and measures about 95km from north to south and about 55km west to east.
Three spectacular, western sloping, upthrust sandstone ridges form the Grampians.
They rise more than 1000 metres above the basalt plains to the south, and are western extremity of the Great Dividing Range.
It has taken 400 million years to produce the spectacular scenery that we see today. The area was once great inland sea. Thick sedimentary layers interspersed with layers of siltstone and mudstone, were laid down. Later earth movements caused lifting and folding and the weathering process began. Softer areas eroded faster and created dramatic formations.
They have been greatly reduced from their original size by weathering. Mt Arapiles and the Black Range have become isolated by the accumulation of sandy soils washed from the mountains.
Today the area is dominated by 4 ranges which run generally North to South. These are the Mt William Range, Serra Range, Victoria Range and the Mt Difficult Range with the gentler slopes to the west.
While the more spectacular ranges have been formed by the erosion of sandstones there are other formations derived from a different origin. You can see low rounded granitic hills in the Victoria Valley and smaller granitic outcrops near Zumstein, Wartook, Mafeking and Halls Gap. These were caused by an up-swelling of magma which did not reach the surface. However where it met the surrounding rock it formed quartzite, which was later faulted to form the waterfalls along the Mackenzie River.
The nearest evidence of surface volcanic activity is generally south of the Grampians where one can see scoria cones at Mt Napier south of Hamilton, and Mt Rouse at Penshurst, and the lava flows and tubes at Byaduk."
Gold Mining in The Grampians : Visit Victoria
Grampians gold rush
Gold was found around Stawell and St Arnaud in the 1850s, an event that heralded the start of a 1900s gold rush, with the Mount William Goldmine at Mafeking operating until 1912. Visit St Arnaud to see an authentic gold rush town and the well-preserved civic buildings and heritage gardens.
Wartook - There is a lot of early European History in this area. Rosebrook was settled in the 1840's and during the gold rushes of the 1850's Troopers Creek was established to collect taxes from the miners heading for the Stawell, Ararat and Ballarat Goldfields. The old Wartook school site is where the Picnic area is, by the MacKenzie River bridge.
