AUSTRALIANA Agriculture
Now almost a standard reference book, this is known to bushies Australia-wide and is found on even the most remote station properties. Its popularity may be gauged from the fact that it has been in print for over 20 years and has gone into over a dozen editions. It gives simple instructions for all the basic bush crafts from fencing, building, leatherwork, knots, fishnets, whips and much more.
This handbook is a mixture of folk lore and directions and is a guide to make your own gates and fences, dams and tanks; simple buildings of wood, stone, mud or rammed earth; furniture, lighting and power. Mr Edwards gives clear instructions plus around 700 drawings.
