Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library copy with all external stickers removed. Remnants of date due slip on inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker. Sticker on imprint page. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

This is the story of one of Australia's largest export industries. It began with the landing of the First Fleet, when four cows, one bull, and a male calf were landed at Cattle Point. The animals thrived and, within a few years, had become a large herd.

This book discusses the people who built the cattle industry: the Durack family, Sir Sydney Kidman, Nathaniel Buchanan, and Dr John Flynn.

Also included are some rollicking stories of cattle drives, a bush fire, droughts and floods, and rounding up brumbies, all written in the 1880s by people who were there to provide a glimpse of the human side of this period. (book flap)
