Synopsis

This is a book about how pioneers on remote Central Australian cattle stations conquered social and spatial isolation. Its authors examine the ways in which individuals and families adapted their life styles when faced with such problems as distance, poor communications, drought and uncertain cattle markets. Many moving experiences are recounted, often in the pioneers' own words.
