Centered around Franc Sadleir Falkiner and his transformative acquisition of the Boonoke station in New South Wales, the book explores how the Falkiners revolutionised wool production through meticulous breeding and land management. Hewat paints a vivid portrait of the family's rise from goldfields to agricultural prominence, highlighting their impact on Australia's wool industry and the controversies they faced along the way. With historical photographs, maps, and personal anecdotes, it’s both a biography and a tribute to the enduring significance of Boonoke in shaping rural Australia.
