Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.
This book is one of those rare amalgams of leading writers and an outstanding photographer, which captures the human, animal and resource elements in our national and wool story.
Roger McDonald has taken a brisk canter across the early landscape of Australian history but with the keen and practised eye of a stockman who misses nothing. Utilising his rural experience, his essay serves as a frame for the wonderful photographic tapestry woven by Richard Woldendorp and is complemented by the meticulous research and careful writing of Amanda Burton.
