Description: Journey along one of Queensland's most elusive inland rivers, from its headwaters in the rugged Carnarvon Range to the vast floodplains where it vanishes into the Darling system. This evocative exploration weaves together geography, hydrology and the deep histories of the Budjiti, Kooma and Mardigan peoples, alongside the pastoral stories of Charleville, Cunnamulla and the frontier beyond. Equal parts natural history and travelogue, it reveals how a desert river shapes the land, culture and communities along its winding course. A must-read for anyone drawn to the quiet wonders of outback Australia.
