Customer Reviews

Wonderful historical book!

This book was recommended by a bush ranger at Undara National Park in Queensland (one of our stops on our honeymoon down under) when he pointed out an old OT pole. I've probably read it a dozen times over, and Googled many things mentioned to see what they look like today & how it it's changed over time based on her descriptions. This book will make you think twice before complaining about heat, bumpy roads, or feeling out of touch!
