Very heavy (1.9 Kg), and not available for postage to destinations outside Australia. 430 pp. Local historian Maurice Ryan provides a history of the Norco Cooperative, interwoven with the story of Lismore and the Northern New South Wales dairy (milk supply) industry which began in the 1890s. Central to the story was the Cooperative established at Byron Bay in 1895. That Coop, after a series of name changes, became Norco in 1926. This book is a history of the Far North Coast, as Norco became the base that supported the region's economy. The Norco story became an important part of the settlement and the infrastructure that developed along with the industry. The many photos help to bring the story alive. ISBN: 0959892818
