Description: Journey into the heart of Queensland's Channel Country with this richly detailed portrait of the Thomson River, an ephemeral waterway whose boom-and-bust rhythms have shaped landscapes, cultures and livelihoods for millennia. From its ancient role in First Nations life to the pastoral era, the rise of Longreach and today's contested debates over water and development, this book traces the many lives of a river that defines outback Australia. Blending hydrology, history and ecology with practical insights for modern travellers, it is an essential companion for anyone drawn to the stories flowing through Australia's inland rivers.
