About This Item
Adelaide: Rigby Limited, 1967. Hardcover. Unpaginated preliminaries, 228p., illustrated with numerous b&w photos and facsimiles, and half dozen maps and charts. First edition, hardbound in brown papered boards gilt and enclosed in the watercolor-decorated dust jacket.

If Cobb's coaches remind one of those in American western movies, well, the Australians imported these in great number.
