They Called Kurnalpi Home: The Story of the Pioneering Cable and Lardner Families in Western Australia by Douglas Cable

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edge. Some marks on covers. Interior and binding are still excellent.

The story of the pioneering Cable and Lardner families, who were joined together by the marriage of John Cable and Ellen Lardner. Their son, Douglas Cable, traces the stories of their successors from the British Isles and the United States of America to those who came to Western Australia during a pioneering era that will never be repeated.

They Called Kurnalpi Home follows the fortunes of a family across the mining, pastoral, and farming industries, through times of success and hardship. The legacies of the stories in this book will stand the test of time as Douglas Cable recalls the tales of goldfields found, of exploration and innovation and the spirit of endeavour and cooperation which have become the hallmarks of the Cables, Lardners and their families to the present day.
