Description: For decades, the winding descent through Bindoon on Great Northern Highway was a notorious bottleneck for heavy freight bound for Perth and the north. This book traces the long journey of the Bindoon Bypass, from the engineering failures of the old route and the political wrangling that stalled progress, through to the geology, earthworks, bridges and interchanges that shaped one of Western Australia's most significant recent road projects. Blending infrastructure history with ecological and community perspectives, it offers a clear-eyed account of how a modern highway is imagined, argued over and ultimately built. An essential read for anyone interested in Australian infrastructure, regional development, or the quiet drama behind the roads we drive every day.
