Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Inscribed by author. Body text and binding are still very good.
The story of the pioneers of Western Australia's timber industry and the associated sport of competitive log-chopping.
Timber getting produced a special breed of people. The work is physically demanding, dangerous and isolated. The men spent long periods camped in the bush, often alone or living with their families in the isolated timber towns scattered throughout Western Australia's vast South West forests.
It is inevitable that out of this isolated and work-oriented lifestyle, a unique sport should develop that transforms everyday work into an occasion for people to meet, drink, and make merry. (book flap)
