Book Description
Secondhand. Near fine condition.
This is a full and revealing account of the perilous and adventurous course of the Northern Territory; a comprehensive account of its history that debunks the myths and makes humans both the high and low points.
The Northern Territory is a wondrous place of bizarre natural history and eccentric personalities; of great unrest and great triumph. Far Country presents the place and its story with skill and simplicity.
Although not as glamorous as myth-makers would have us believe, the real story of Australia's "last frontier", through European settlement, wars, depression and the relationship between Indigenous Australians and White Australians, is no less engrossing.
Includes index and bibliographical references.
