Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Large format paperback.
Great Australian Bushfire Stories is a collection of remarkable tales from all around Australia that tell of our country's fiercest natural phenomenon: the bushfire.
Farmers, landowners, firefighters and city dwellers share with ABC journalist Ian Mannix their experiences of fires: preparing for them, fighting them, and the heartbreak task of mopping up when even their best efforts failed.
Some stories are funny, some tragic, many courageous, but all are a testimony to the ingenuity and grit of human beings as they fight to save their homes, their towns and, in some cases, their lives.. (back cover)
