Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly to front cover right corners, now protected with book tape. Previous owner has signed inside page. Inscribed by author.

On April 4th, 1978, tropical Cyclone Alby tore down the west coast of Western Australia, creating storm and bushfire chaos. Five lives were lost, thousands of hectares of farms and forests were burned or damaged, towns and coastal areas were hammered, and millions of trees were uprooted.

This book explores the background to the crisis and looks at how well we would cope when the next cyclone strikes - but it also includes first-hand stories from those involved. These are the dramatic, poignant and sometimes heart-breaking memories of the firefighters, nurses, ambos, farmers, foresters, schoolteachers, mothers and daughters who have never forgotten their Cyclone Alby experiences.
