The Country Party Story by Ulrich Ellis reviewed
The book traces the origins of the Country Party in New South Wales from 1875 with the Free Selectors' Association in Wagga to 1921 when rural MPs formed a distinct party. It notes key groups like the Farmers and Settlers' Association and figures such as James Gormly and Arthur Trethowan, and contrasts riverine and inland influences with Sydney interests shaping policy.
