Chris Everett’s book, “Noetzie – An Illustrated History”, was launched in December 2012 and was very well received by the Noetzie community. The history covers a wide range of geological, geographic and environmental aspects, archaeology, the history of Noetzie’s establishment and development, politics and details of all the erven and the families who have owned them. In addition personal recollections and stories as well as a range of artwork by Noetzie’s people are included, together with a wide selection of historic and picturesque photos.
An illustrated History
by Chris Everett
Many people were surprised by the quality and degree of detail and the comment that it considerably exceeded their expectations was made by several. Owners particularly enjoyed the “scoop” of the previously unpublished archaeological digs and the details recorded about the mystery Doctor and his shack up the river. Anita Fabians’ lovely sketches dotted around the book were also greatly appreciated.
