Hidden Hamilton

This one became two books and no longer relies on the good intentions of the blogging service. https://hiddenhamilton.blogspot.com

My work to bring to light the hidden history of my suburb, Hamilton, is complete. It began on Friday, 17 May, 2013 with my first post on this blog, about the Hamilton Turkish baths. Soon, blogging was taking me on an adventure I'd never imagined. My book, ‘Hidden Hamilton: Uncovering stories of Hamilton, NSW’ was launched on 11 November, 2014. Feedback, information and stories flowed in – so the blog posts continued. A companion volume, ‘More Hidden Hamilton: Further stories of people, place and community’ was published on 28 June, 2016. Both books drew extensively from over 70 posts on this blog. To everyone who has travelled with me on my journey to discover Hamilton, thank you. Your engagement, encouragement and contributions have made the experience a highlight of my life. Special thanks to publisher Hunter Press – Christine Bruderlin and Mark MacLean transformed my blog posts into books to treasure.
