This manuscript entitled The Happiest Days of my Life is Edna Walling's personal account of her experiences building East Point on the Great Ocean Road near Lorne, Victoria. Walling purchased this property in 1948, but later gave it to the Bird Observers' Club after the house was destroyed by bushfire.
One of Australia's most influential garden designers, Walling approached a number of publishers with her manuscript and the accompanying photographs, without success. However in 2001, the State Library of Victoria published the complete manuscript online. |
