Item description from seller

Book is pre-owned - please see photos. In End of an Era, Len Beadell delivers a riveting chronicle of the last major road-building expedition in the Australian Outback. Tasked with surveying and constructing the final three highways—including the revered Gunbarrel Highway—Beadell and his crew face daunting challenges: searing heat, sandstorms, mechanical breakdowns, and vast, uncharted terrain. Through vivid storytelling and B&W photographs, the author recounts their triumphs in connecting remote regions—like the Gary Highway to Gary Junction and beyond—encountering Indigenous communities untouched by modern roads, and rediscovering historic wells along the Canning Stock Route. It’s a tale of rugged endurance, technical ingenuity, and the spirit of adventure as these final highways stitch the Western deserts into Australia’s road network.
