Northern Gateway by Frank Flynn with Keith Willey

Book Description

Secondhand. Fair to good condition. Book has wear to book corners and at spine. Pages are sunned. Binding is still very good. Dust jacket is fair with tears at spine and right corners.

The story begins in the Gateway itself, Darwin, tracing the growth of this isolated city from its days as a pearling port through its war inspired awakening of the 1940s to its early 1960s expansion via air travel.

Beyond the Gateway, it is a tale of mines and missions, of cattle stations and Indigenous mission settlements. Flynn meets uranium miners at Rum Jungle, patients at leper colonies, Aboriginal stockman and lugger crewmen, station owners and their families gathered at outback race meetings.
