This book records the story of Yampi Sound in the far north of Western Australia, of the exploration and development of the great iron ore deposits on Cockatoo and Koolan Islands and of the men who conquered the region by their foresight, courage, and endurance.

With the development of Yampi began the great Australian mining boom, now part of the nation's history and the heritage of every Western Australia. (book flap)
