Old Australind Recalled by the Australind by R Bingham Clifton

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on covers. Some foxing on pages.

Story of the Australind Settlement Scheme, as told by R. Bingham Clifton, brings to life the incredible courage, faith, and resilience of our early settlers and paints a picture of the hardships and adversities they endured.

The venture by the Western Australian Company to settle and develop Australind is one of the strangest and most unusual enterprises ever launched. Though it failed in its original concept, the fact remains that, almost 150 years later, a vision that took place in faraway England in 1840 came true in 1979.

Published by the Australind 150th Committee as a contribution to the Sesquicentennial Celebrations of Western Australia.
