Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Some foxing to foredges. Interior and binding are still very good.
These timeless tracks to goldfields hundreds of kilometres inland from Geraldton, started by the sheepmen, scored with the footprints of man and animal, deepened by the wheels of wagon and coach and then made redundant by the rail, linger on as monuments to the stout-hearted folk who travelled them in the golden years of the roaring nineties.
Alex Palmer relates the story of these tracks to the Murchison Goldfields and the people who lived at the wayside coach stations.
