Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. AUSTRALIANA -Reprint. (First published: Adelaide : Rigby, 1976.)When your grader breaks down in the middle of the desert, there's only one thing you can do - attach it to your bulldozer and tow it back to civilisation. For Len Beadell's team, that meant a journey of 800 kilometres at three kilome…tres an hour - the longest towing operation ever in the history of Central Australia. The party hitched up their 'train' and set off back along the road they had just built. But while they were all set for a long and arduous journey, the last thing they expected was for their ration truck to melt. This had its disadvantages but was the best entertainment they'd had for a year! Len Beadell's classic account of the building of the famous Gunbarrel Highway across Central Australia in which he recounts in his own colourful style the outstanding events of its construction. 192 p., [14] p. of plates ill., map ; 21 cm. reprint #270625/041225 (gift inscrption) Beadell, Len, 1923-1995 Surveyors -- Australia -- Biography Roads -- Australia, Central -- Design and construction Australia, Central -- Description and travel Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
