Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has creasing at edges and at spine. Interior and binding are still very good.
Road trains are unique to Australia, and in the outback, where there are no rail lines, people depend almost entirely on the services provided by this remarkably efficient transport medium.
As camel drivers faded, the first road train appeared in the Northern Territory. The post-war period saw dramatic development of road train operations as hauliers progressed from sturdy ex-defence vehicles to modern, powerful British and American marques. (book flap)
