Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket is in a protective plastic covering. Some minor marks on a few pages. Large book.
The steam locomotive finished what the pioneers had begun - the opening up of Australia. By the time steam had reached its supremacy, Australia had truly come of age.
This remarkable collection of historical photographs recreates a time when steam was part of everyday life in Australia; a time when the wail of the whistle and the rumble of freight wagons was a familiar sound in almost every town. (book flap)
