Back Roads: The Stories Behind Some of Australia's Most Remarkable and Inspiring Rural Communities by Heather Ewart and Karen Michelmore

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Light almost invisible scratch on back cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.

A road trip around Australia, discovering towns and communities outside the mainstream - and the colourful inhabitants whose grit and humour will uplift and inspire you.

Meet strong women like Joan Sinclair, who is still riding horses in her 80s; Heather Jones from the Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls; and Diane Reeves, a transgender former dairy farmer, shearer, and truck driver. Visit historic places, such as Pine Creek, built on the sweat of Chinese workers, and Marree, where cameleers forged new paths far from home in this remote part of the world. (publisher blurb)
