Spine panel of jacket very slightly faded. The search for the beautiful timber of the red cedar led to the opening up of coastal districts and hinterland and paved the way for later permanent settlements. Few of the present generation have seen the tree growing yet there was a time when it was a familiar feature of the landscape. Today not even a stump remains over hundreds of kilometers of the coastal strip. The cedar getter has gone but they played an important part in the development of Australia. This book pays tribute to these men - the advance guard of settlement along the whole of Australia's east coast. An important book that has become extremely scarce very quickly. Second Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 4to. Reed Hardcover
