“This book brings together information about Barrabool Sandstone that has not been published, or has been published but scattered in various resources that have not emphasised the stone itself. The story starts from the stone's geological formation and continues through extraction from the quarry sites to the building and description of the many structures where this stone was used. The story includes the geologists, quarrymen, stonemasons and architects who identified the stone, quarried, crafted, sculptured, designed and constructed the structures described in this book.”--Preface
