AUSTRALIA'S GREAT RIVER

The Murray Valley - Past and Present

Hard to Find Out of Print Book by R M Younger

Australia's Great River tells the story of a region that has a character and a personality of its own.

The author draws upon a wealth of fine pictorial material to support his descriptions of the way of life of other days, and to illustrate events, men, places and activities. Many eyewitness accounts help bhring the past to life.

Ever since the land along the Great River was first opened up, the pioneer's strength of purpose has been a consistent force, both in the individual's efforst to turn hopes into reality and in community achievement. Through the concerted effort of countless men and women the Murray region has been built into Australia's most important primary producing area. From its stations, farms, orchards and vineyards come more than half the nation's rural production. The irrigation areas drawing water from Murray, Murrumbridgee and Goulburn rivers have attained a level of production far above that of any other section of inland Australia.

Australia's Great River is a book about the interplay of people and their surroundings. Its constant theme is the way in which men and women have responded to the multiform challenge.
