Book Description
Secondhand. Near fine condition. Very minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.
The heroic image of a stockman against a backdrop of open space and blue skies is one of Australia's most potent and enduring symbols.
This book celebrates the backcountry pioneers who defied a harsh land and cruel climate to lay the foundations of Australia's primary industries. It is a chequered tale of triumphs and tribulations, optimism and sheer pluck only too often pitted gainst unsympathetic administrators and the relentless forces of nature. (back cover)
