Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

A collection of 15 stories of humour, survival and courage in the face of one of our country's most powerful natural forces - flood.

Across Grantham to Condamine, Kempsey to Bullita Station, flood has devastated this wide brown land, in some instances bringing much-needed relief from drought, but in many others bringing tragedy, homelessness and a fight for survival.

Ian Mannix charts the pattern of floods in Australia and tells amazing stories of danger and survival, from the women trapped in a house infested with snakes as the floodwaters rose ever higher, to the helicopter rescues of people whose homes were inundated without warning, to the brave townsfolk who saved their outback Queensland towns from the menace of the Warego River with all the odds stacked against them.

These fascinating accounts from the lips of those who have experienced disaster will give you an understanding of what it is like to face nature at its most deadly, how to prepare and how to recover from its shocking impact. (back cover)
