Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker.

When, in 1893, German immigrant Dr Edward Hoche was appointed medical officer in Birdsville, Queensland, there was only one way to get there: he and his family made the six-day journey through the December heat by stagecoach and buggy. They had been told to expect a little house made of corrugated iron. Nobody had told them about the typhoid epidemic.

Through original letters and research, Helen Ferber has crafted a vivid account of the Hoche's and their extended family in Australia and Germany.
