Squatters: The Story of Australia's Pastoral Pioneers

The book explores the experiences of early Australian settlers who left crowded Britain for the vastness of inland Australia, seeking freedom and opportunity. It details their efforts in building infrastructure such as windmills and livestock yards, highlighting the contrast between the successful pioneers and those who faced hardship. By examining diaries and historical documents, the author uncovers the stories of these "scrub aristocrats," whose determination and labor helped establish a thriving pastoral industry that contributed to the nation's prosperity.
