Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Sunning to top and right foredges. Small mark on right foredge. Dust jacket is worn at edges, particularly at the spine top. Interior and binding are still very good.
Published in 1969, this book provides a fascinating description of the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of WA. It describes population problems, environmental damage, and the exploitation of natural resources.
This book would have been provocative when published, as it challenged the romantic ideals of pioneering courage and virtue. The book's conclusion is that Australians are no longer tough enough or desperate enough to colonise the remote spaces of the Northwest. (front flap)
