Description: Journey into the heart of southern Queensland's Brigalow Belt with this richly detailed exploration of the Moonie River, a dryland waterway whose story weaves together landscape, culture, and change. From its ancient significance to the Bigambul and Mandandanji peoples to the arrival of pastoralists and the rise of cotton and grain farming, the book traces how this unassuming river has shaped and been shaped by those who depend on it. Along the way, readers encounter the unique hydrology and ecology of a river that flows only when the rains allow, and discover what it means to travel its banks today.
