Country Images, Western Australia: A Portrait of the Past by Tom Austen

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker.

Much has changed in rural and regional Western Australia since the first Merino was shorn in the Avon Valley in the 1830s.

The courage and tenacity shown by the early pioneers, the hardships they had to endure and the obstacles they had to overcome are documented in Country Images.

The pictures and photographs in Country Images, a companion volume to Western Images, come mainly from the resources of the West Australian Newspapers, publisher of the Countryman, which with its predecessor, the original Western Mail, has been recording WA's rural and regional development and lifestyle since 1885.
