E. Sayers' detailed history of the Victorian town and its surrounding Wimmera district. Beginning with Major Thomas Mitchell's exploration of the Richardson River and the arrival of early pastoral settlers, it traces Donald's development from a solitary shanty-store beside a rough river crossing into an established and prosperous rural centre.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     Sayers records the experiences of the district's squatters, selectors and farming families, describing the great pastoral runs, the closer settlement of the land and the rise of wheat growing on the dry Wimmera plains. The narrative encompasses droughts, floods, primitive farming methods and the gradual introduction of increasingly powerful agricultural machinery, while preserving the recollections and achievements of many of the individuals and families who shaped the district.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     Later chapters examine the growth of the township itself, including its streets, local government, churches, schools, water supply and sporting life.
