About the Rowville Lysterfield History Project
When Bryan Power became the editor of the Rowville-Lysterfield Community News in late 1990 he commenced a monthly local history article. Since then the Rowville-Lysterfield Community News has published over 100 articles, many of them based on interviews with long-time residents of Rowville and Lysterfield.
The committee of the News had long held the hope that these stories would one day be published in a single collection, and the awarding of a grant through the Commonwealth Government’s Federation Community Projects Program provided the means of realising that dream.
The release of these stories and photographs in three media: website, CD-ROM and book is a small but not insignificant part of our nation’s celebration of 100 years of achievement since Federation.
