Tucker presents a vivid portrait of the hardworking men and women who depended on these modes of transport, detailing the trade routes, river ports, and overland tracks that formed the economic backbone of colonial Australia. Written with warmth and authority, the narrative illustrates how the Murray River served as a vital artery for settlement and industry throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on historical records, photographs, and firsthand accounts, it stands as an essential tribute to an era of ingenuity and endurance that defined the Australian bush experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826032423131,"sku":"2026200006295-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1e71bf1d-a2e0-4702-8e82-d963127b9de2.png?v=1780311248","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006295-secondhand-the-murray-rivers-paddle-steamers-and-bullockies","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
