Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page.

In the 1880s, John Costello, a pastoralist from Yass who had settled on Coopers Creek, purchased Lake Nash Station. He then opened up the wild country on the Limmen River of the Northern Territory, fighting disease, drought, malaria, hostile natives and cattle thieves. Eventually, he lost the battle but never forgot the promise of his savage land.

Initially published in 1930.
