Description
SECONDHAND BOOK
Squatters and Settlers vividly recreates an important era in our history – when pioneers first opened up and put to productive use much of the vast expanse of Australia.
Derrick Stone and Donald Garden have, in both authoritative text and a wealth of contemporary photographs, traced the lives of these rural pioneers. They tell of the adventures, the hardships, the heroism, and above all the endeavours of both the squatter and the settler. They describe too, those who assisted the squatters – the convicts, shepherds and hut-keepers, as well as those fabled characters of the Australian bush – the stockmen, the ‘bullockies’, the ‘swaggies’ and the itinerant shearers. Throughout all they trace the development of the rural economy of a growing nation.
