In 1950 a 40 page illustrated publication was produced titled "Welcome Back to Warburton".

It commemorated the Back to Warburton celebrations in March 1950, and was published by the Warburton District Progress Association.

This is now freely available on-line at the State Library of Victoria, and is a fascinating account of the history and development of Warburton and its timber industry.
 
It may be downloaded as a PDF file, at Welcome Back to Warburton
