Perched on the Rails by Bruce Paterson

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with external stickers removed. Remnant of spine label backing on faded spine. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Inside half-title page has stamps, stickers and a repaired tear. Book is clean and binding is excellent.

An account of one man's odyssey from 1945 to the '80s, through the far-flung stock camps of the East Kimberley, Queensland's Gulf country, South Australia's North East, a childhood in the Wiluna desert fringe and ultimately from the Pilbara to the closely settled area of Bindoon.

Paterson records his memories of the work, the fun, the fauna, some politics, the encroachment of technology and some marvellous but largely unsung people met along the way. (back cover)
