Description
SECONDHAND BOOK
“The Riverina is the flat inland plain crossed by the Murray and Murrumbidgee river systems in western New South Wales. This is a fascinating and detailed study of the changing pattern of land ownership and social structure over thirty years of pioneering settlement.
The aims and operation of the Robertson Land Acts are closely examined, especially the ‘free selection before survey’ clause. Selection did not immediately follow these Acts and the real clash between squatters and selectors did not come until the start of mechanization and railway-building removed natural obstacles to agriculture in the 1880s.”
