Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

There was a huge demand for timber during the Goldrush in the Western Australian Goldfields. Lumber needed to support mine shafts, fuel for machinery and to operate condensers producing freshwater. Those working on the woodlines were often migrants who faced hard conditions in remote areas. This book also covers the enormous environmental impact of clearing the land.
