Netting a book about rural decline

Former Perenna resident, Ron Dodds has written about his 54 years of life in the predominantly-cropping region north of Nhill on the fringe of the Big Desert, documenting the changes in farming methods such as the introduction of minimum tillage, and the gradual but total exodus of the community that used to live there. South of the Netting Fence is available at the Horsham Newsagency, the Dimboola Imaginarium and from the Nhill Historical Society.
