Sobre este artículo
Chatswood, NSW : New Holland, 2001. Reprint. Softcover. Good Condition. Octavo. Binding is tight and spine fully intact Text body is clean and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting No foxing in this copy All edges neat and clean Too Long In the Bush is the story of how, from 1956 to 1958, Len Beadell and his team made the first road across Central Australia from east to west, 1500 kilometres from the Alice Springs road to Carnegie homestead 650 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie. On the way he surveyed and built the Giles Meteorological Station and aerodrome before moving on to skirt the edge of the infamous Gibson Desert.
Beadell, using astronomical observations, would survey up to 400 kilometres of the projected road entirely alone, often in country then known only to small groups of Aborigines. Returning to his construction team, he would supervise operations as the road was pushed slowly forward through the heat and dust, over sandhill and desert, rounding the desolate salt lakes. B & W photos and illustrations
