Book Description

Secondhand. Fair condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Wobble to last 20 odd pages, indicating storage in humid environment. Dust jacket has creasing at edges and at spine. Some separation of the laminate from card at the top back cover. Dust jacket is now enclosed in protective covering. Interior and binding are still very good.

This is the story of an Australian long gone and of a person whose like we will not see again. It is the story of days spent droving in the Gulf Country in the early years of the 20th century, of the part of Australia left on the battlefields of France, of trepanning in treacherous northern waters, and of hard Depression roads in the Northern Territory with never a job at the end.

It is the story of William Edward (Bill) Harney (1895-1962), who was a drover at 12, a stockman, an itinerant bush worker, an amateur geologist, an anthropologist, an office with the Native Affairs Branch, a broadcaster, a writer, and the first white keeper of the Rock at Uluru.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please note that this book may contain descriptions and/or images of people who have passed away.
