Judith Hadfield

Judith is recording and publishing a series of local history books about the people who came to the western area of the Pilliga to cut sleepers, open sawmills, work in the mills or in the forest; the storekeepers and villagers who helped to develop the town of Baradine and the villages of Kenebri, Gwabegar and Pilliga. Her most recent book is called "The Best of Times" and she is currently working on a sequel. Judith welcomes contributions and enquiries about her books. She has lived in Baradine for 55 years and loves the area and the people who were involved in a more prosperous past. She feels that their endeavours and their lifestyles should be recorded for future generations.
