Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library copy with stickers, stamps and protective plastic covering. Minor edgewear.

Much of Australian history has been written about cities and coastal plains. Beyond the black stump refers to far-distant locations and going-ons that appear marginal to many city-living Australians.

This book explores the hidden history of people and places in the Australian outback, revealing a vast inland corridor of social movement and interaction that has played a central role in shaping the Australian nation.
