Country Life in Pioneer South Australia

Product Description A beautiful coffee-table book recapturing the colonial days of South Australia. The author, Judith Brown, reveals the different ways of life of the owners of a fascinating diversity of pioneer houses illustrated in fine colour photographs by Barbara Mullins. Judith's research uncovered homes still occupied and others abandoned, and reveals the lives of their tenacious inhabitants, including a whaler, a pastoralist, a preacher, a miner, and some of the women of South Australia. Review "Adelaide historian Judith Brown provides a vivid link with history in her most recent book ... She helps the reader to feel the drama, tragedy, poignancy and humour that, in all times and places, is today's pattern for tomorrow."The Advertiser, Adelaide
