This book traces the sometimes faltering steps of commerce and industry as they evolved during the early days of the Colony, from wool through to sandalwood, whaling, fishing, timber, pearling and gold, to the 20th Century mining booms. Contributors include Roy Lourens, Ted Joll, Jan Mayman and M Davies, Peter Ellery, Don Lipscombe and Norman Duffy.
