Peter Phillips presents a vivid portrait of the bustling river trade that once served as the lifeblood of the continent's interior, carrying wool, wheat, and passengers through remote and rugged landscapes long before roads and railways dominated the land. With an affectionate and authoritative tone, the narrative illustrates the lives of the rivermen, the communities that grew along the banks, and the remarkable vessels that made it all possible. Drawing on historical records and evocative imagery, Phillips details how these waterways shaped the economic and cultural development of an entire region, leaving a legacy that still resonates in the towns and traditions of the Murray-Darling basin today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887835820251,"sku":"2026200007590-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/835255d8-670b-4adf-a705-7d1b9f05b4a6.png?v=1781746941","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007590-secondhand-riverboat-days-on-the-murray-darling-murrumbidgee","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
