Description: Journey through the heart of North Queensland with this richly detailed portrait of the Gilbert River, from its humble beginnings in the Einasleigh Uplands to its sprawling delta on the Gulf of Carpentaria. Drawing together deep geological time, the enduring presence of First Peoples, and the colourful history of pastoralists and goldminers on the Etheridge, this book paints a vivid picture of one of Australia's great seasonal waterways. Chapters on ecology, modern land use, and traveller's tips make it both an engaging read and a practical companion for those drawn to the country it describes. A thoughtful tribute to a river shaped by monsoon rhythms and the generations who have called its banks home.
