Along the Ashburton

AUSTRALIAN FAUNA AGRICULTURE WEST AUSTRALIANA

     A history of the pastoral stations in the Ashburton region of Western Australia. Documents the history of the area from early settlement to the heyday of the wool industry in the 1950’s and the rapid decline when wool was largely replaced by synthetics in the 1970’s. It is not a book of numbers and statistics, but of the stories of the people who helped open up one of our last frontiers. #50315/150523
