Description

This is the absorbing story of the pioneering of a large area of Far North Queensland...the region that lies over the Coastal Range behind Cairns. It tells of the explorers and settlers who followed; of those superb bushmen, the pathfinders; the packers and their mules, the carriers, Cobb and Co. men, miners, timber-getters, and the other men and women who underwent every hardship in rough mining towns, on stations and farms in the hard pioneering days. Read of the roaring days of gold and the prosperity of the tinfields; of ghost towns, and of today's wealthy towns that owe so much to the pioneers. This no dull recital of events...its is an inspiring and informative story. Winner, Foxwood Literary Award, 1976.
