Wool Away at Nulla Nulla and Pioneers of the Outback by

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

A well-documented account of the early pioneering families of Nulla Nulla, a once thriving sheep station in the far south-western corner of New South Wales. Lake Victoria Station is situated 60 miles north-west of Wentworth, the nearest town. Nulla Nulla became the main station in 1914 when a new woolshed was built. Lake Victoria was a vast holding spanning 1.4 million acres.

The district is rich in outback pioneering history, having featured in the first encounters between overlanders and the Aboriginal people of the Maraura-Barkindji tribes in the mid 1800s. The book gives an interesting insight into the original Indigenous families who lived in this district. Nulla Nulla was soon to become a thriving settlement and home to seven permanent families, plus a transient population of jackaroos and station hands.
