In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout."Ion Idriess, bushman, prospector, and one of Australia's favourite tale-tellers, writes here the pioneering story of the silver-lead-zinc mines at Broken Hill from which has developed in the past fifty years Australia's vast iron and steel industry. Prosperity began with the silver rush of the 1880's. Shares multiplied their value 10,000 times in twelve-month. Magnificent opals were found, artesian water was tapped, sheep and cattle kingdoms flourished, ravaged the land and disappeared....every page is packed with real life adventure."

It is the best I can do with the scanty scraps of material. But to delay longer would mean it would never be printed. Not that that would matter one iota, of course. However, the book may prove of passing interest to those interested in "flashes" from our Australian past. And to those interested in a tiny but colourful race of islanders, a race whose descendants today have reached the full climax of their ambition, to become "civilized" enough to even don uniforms in a "white man's war". But Time passes, like Wongai, like the islanders' culture of a thousand years, like history, like - everything.

Urged by a fellow opal-seeker, he began to write - and wrote his way to fame.In Lightning Ridge Ion Idriess tells of his beginnings of his childhood in Lismore and Tamworth and Broken Hill, of his apprenticeship in bushcraft, and of the growing love for the Australian outback which illumines all his work. He tells of the jobs he had - as rouseabout, horse breaker, horse tailer, shearer - and of how his wanderings brought him to the opal mines at Lightning Ridge. The romance of opals, with their fiery beauty, captured the author's imagination - and has held it ever since. He became one of the band of opal-seekers who live in these… Read More

There was no doubts that the fish would be wondrous, but even Maui's brothers were in awe of it when it leapt through the waves. Falling on the fish in their hunger, they hacked at it, tearing its edges and pitting its surface. So Aotearoa was born to the world of light. Aotearoa New Zealand: land of lakes and forests, mountains and rivers. Aotearoa: the legendary land.The legendary land is revealed in all its astonishing beauty in this exceptional book.

An upper-class few clung to their illusions of privilege while the streets teemed with brawling chaotic life: the immigrant overflow of Britain's desperate slums, dispossessed Irish peasants, indentured servants and labourers, drunken seamen, political and religious refugees.Into this sink-or-swim whirlpool of ambition, despair and hope, came Raunie, half Irish and half gipsy, just disembarked from the floating, fever-ridden squalor of the immigrant barque May Queen. Sixteen, pregnant and widowed, her wild flaunting beauty barely disguised by her filthy ragged clothes, she had nothing but the hard-won knowledge, wit and determination of a born survivor.
