Book Description

A century ago, Springvale Homestead was a stopping place for overlanders, bringing livestock to the grasslands of the north. Their rush for grass created an Australian legend of heroic achievement in the Outback.

Springvale's story graphically describes how one of the North's earliest and most important stations was settled, and tells of a life in the early days of the infant town of Katherine, nearby. (back cover)
