All pioneering stories must in some way chronicle a history of transport. For as the author dramatically reveals in these pages, without horse, bullock, or camel, there simply would not be any history to speak of, so vast and forbidding is the Australian terrain. The establishing of agriculture, of industry, of modern urban societies is, to a large extent, interdependent on the evolution of transport. This is the exciting story that unfolds here, beautifully illustrated with some 200 pictures that could almost stand alone, were Max Colwell not such a compelling and scintillating writer.
