Description: Journey into the heart of outback Queensland with this richly detailed exploration of one of Australia's most enigmatic waterways. From its headwaters in the granite ranges to the terminal lakes where it finally vanishes into the arid interior, the Bulloo River tells a story unlike any other — a rare endorheic system that never reaches the sea. Weaving together hydrology, ecology, and the deep histories of the Badjiri and Wongkumara peoples alongside the pastoralists and surveyors who followed, this book offers both a natural history and a cultural portrait of a landscape few Australians truly know. Whether you're an armchair traveller or planning your own outback adventure, the Bulloo awaits.
