Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker. Interior and binding are still very good.

The story of teachers who suffered loneliness and deprivation to bring education to bush children and the one-teacher schools of the Outback. They were pioneers in as true a sense as the farmers, miners, timber workers and group settlers with whom they shared primitive housing and living conditions.

The author sets a story against the economic, social and technological factors that gave rise to the small bush schools and the changes that led to their phasing out in the consolidation movement of the 1940s and 50s.
