CAPE YORK PENINSULA A HISTORY OF UNLAUDED HEROES 1845-2003
lennie wallce The Cape York Peninsula is arguably the most exotic wilderness region in Australia. Its history is as colourful as its geography and as steamy as its climate. The era covered from 1845 to 2003, but historian Lennie Wallace also tells us of early Chinese, Indonesian, Spanish and Portuguese mariners and of the many shipwrecks and daring rescues along its dangerous coastlines. Cooktown is portrayed in its booming heyday when it was the port for the gold mining boom on the Palmer. The Overland Telegraph Line is built, the Aboriginal peoples meet the missionaries and the mail gets through, though only after some pretty heroic tussles with floods and crocodiles. 166 pp - Paperback - Published 2003
