Sobre este artículo
Sydney: Hodder, 2003. 1st ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white photos centre spread, corner rear cover faintly creased, front cover little creased near base spine, minor rubbing bottom edge, top edge minimally foxed, minor edgewear. 283 pp. The Birdsville Track is one of the best known and loneliest tracks in Australia, and for 20 years Tom Kruse was the mailman, battling everything from searing heat and floods to mechanical breakdown. Tom always got the mail through - come drought, hell or high water. A truly classic Australian story, by Kristin Weidenbach, that captures part of Australian history that is fast vanishing.
