Dry River by Rachel Percy as told by Dave Mills

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Some moisture buckling to first page, otherwise interior is still very good. Signed by author.

David Mills' (1936-1991) biography, Dry River, is a richly detailed account of working life in the Australian Outback in the last days of the old stock routes and packsaddle cattle camps. An extraordinary story of an ordinary bloke.

Mills was a Geraldton farm boy who wanted nothing more than to be a drover and enjoy station life, and he did so in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland.

Mills inspired Randolph Stow's novel Tourmaline.
