From Fraser's to Freezeout

From Fraser's to Freezeout is the second in a series of four books by Ian Stapleton, exploring the fascinating lives of many of the colourful characters who have called the Victorian High Country "home' over the past 150 years.

Their stories are told mostly through the memories, recollections and writings of the older mountain people who knew, or knew of, the various characters in one way or another.

'Fraser operated a rough accomodation shanty at the southern end of the Plains whilst "Mother Freezeout" ran an even rougher one on the snowy slopes of Mt Freezeout at the northern end. In between Fraser's and Freezeout lay the remote and mystical Dargo High Plains. The stories of the hardy souls who took on the challenge of living in such a place are remarkable indeed. But far too many have already been forgotten.'
