There's a Track Winding Back by Phil Jarratt

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at top edge and at spine. Interior and binding are excellent.

Beginning with Blaxland's triumphant crossing of the Blue Mountains in 1813, Journalist Phil Jarratt retraces the great expeditions of the 19th century - Hume and Hovell's overland journey to Corio Bay, Sturt's exploration of the Murray River, Leichhardt's trek to the Gulf, and the ill-fated Burke and Wills trail from the south to the north of the continent.

In doing so, Jarratt brings to life the land as Europeans first encountered it, and the places that are now there, more than a century later. (book flap)
