Description: Journey along one of Queensland's great inland waterways, from its headwaters in the Great Dividing Range to the sprawling savanna country it carves on its way north. This richly layered account traces the Flinders River through deep time and lived experience, exploring the land's First Peoples, the arrival of European explorers, and the pastoral frontier that grew along its banks. With chapters on hydrology, flood and drought cycles, and the unique ecology of a dryland river, it offers a vivid portrait of a landscape shaped by water in a land of extremes. A thoughtful companion for anyone drawn to Australia's rivers, their histories, and their future.
