Description: Journey into the heart of North Queensland with this richly layered exploration of the Suttor River, a vital tributary of the mighty Burdekin that winds through basalt plains, ancient geology, and stories spanning millions of years. From the deep time of its volcanic origins and the enduring culture of the Jangga people, to the arrival of squatters, the clamour of gold and coal, and the modern pressures shaping its waters, this book traces a landscape where history and hydrology meet. Blending geography, ecology, and human endeavour, it offers readers a vivid portrait of a river too often overlooked. An essential read for anyone drawn to Australia's inland waterways and the country they sustain.
