Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Some edgewear at book spine. Slight sunning of pages. Dust jacket has creasing at top and tail. Tear to top back cover fixed with book tape. Inscribed by author.

No task was more vital for Western Australia's European colonisation that a communication system to open up a vast, empty land with harsh terrain and extremes of climate.

It was tackled over the years by horse, camel and donkey teams, by stage-coach drivers and eventually by motor truck operators.

Commission by the West Australian Road Transport Association (Inc)
