Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "Peter Forrest, the Northern Territory's best known historian, takes readers down the Daly River on an exciting tour of discovery to a little known but fascinating part of Australia's outback. The Daly was a gathering place and refuge of traditional Aboriginal people. Later it was the focus for high hopes of a European conquest of the northern 'wilderness'. Instead, the wilderness conquered the white and Chinese settlers. Isolation and deprivation forced them to adopt ways of life and work unique in Australia. This book tells the remarkable story of the Daly's people, from ancient times to the present day." --- Maps by Adrian Welke. --- Original illustrated white card (photograph) covers, lettered green top cover.
