About This Item
Mile End, SA: Wakefield Press. 2017. Octavo Size [approx 15.5 x 22.8cm]. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Black and White Photographs. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 456 pages. Unravels the early history of central Australia's first white settlement. It contains information, never previously published, about that little outpost - a significant heritage site - and how an iconic town was born nearby, during a goldrush that made few people rich. It is a tale of the country's heart and some of its most remarkable but little-known characters, and of children torn between two cultures living at the telegraph station after the morse keys stopped clicking in 1932; children under the shadow of the most controversial piece of legislation in Australia's history. Winner of the 2017 Chief Ministerâs Northern Territory History Book Award. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. . New. Reprint. Softcover.
