<i>Woolly Togs</i> by Elaine Rank

What makes your Nillumbik home town/area unique? Who are the characters who have made it so? What sites have significance and why?

During 2005 Nillumbik Shire Council and the Literary Reference Group invited members of the community to respond to these questions, to show us the history and flavour of your place - then and now - in a 500 word anecdote.

The stories collected reflect the unique histories and personalities that inform each township in the Shire.
