Great Australian Railway Stories by Bill Swampy Marsh

Book Description

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

Where explorers and settlers went in Australia, the railways followed. Small towns were linked like beads on a string by railway: it was the way these communities stayed alive.

The railways had their own mystery, language, and of course, stories and yarns. Poignant, inspiring, tragic, and often downright hilarious, your travelling companions in Great Australian Railway Stories range from train drivers, gangers, fettlers, guards, firemen, publicans and more. (back cover)
