ISBN10: 1921520647, ISBN13: 9781921520648, [publisher: Text Publishing Company] Softcover The story of the settlement of Australia and how our culture has been shaped by the scarcity of water and by the need to fill the imagined silence of the continent with the sounds of civilisation. It's the story of who we are today as much as a history of how the country grew. From the moment the First Fleeters stepped ashore, water determined progress. The tank stream that flowed through what is now the Sydney CBD provided fresh water until settlers and their livestock fouled it. Then water carriers carted buckets from a nearby swamp, which was later piped, in a major feat of engineering, into the growing settlement. When it ran dry sights were set further afield. And so the story continued. Explorers followed waterways. Frontier battles between Aboriginal and white Australians were as much contests over water as they were of land. Grand irrigation plans and dreams were based on a notion that water was a resource to be exploited. This is an illuminating look at the ways people have imagined and interpreted Australia while struggling to understand this continent and striving to conquer its obstacles. It's an important work of environmental and cultural history with an unmistakable sense of how, today, we are part of that continuing story. 2.6 Centimeters X 15.5 Centimeters X 23 Centimeters

Text Publishing, Date: 2009. Softcover (16 x 24 cm), 327 pages, b&w/colour photographs & maps. ISBN: 9781921520648. Very Good condition. Bumped, creased at corners. "For thousands of years, water has shaped where we live, how we struggle with each other and how we imagine our country. The first settlers' dreams of mighty inland rivers evaporated in the silent deserts of Australia. But the water dreamers refused to accept this disappointment. They saw a country that could be transformed by irrigation and hydro-engineering. Today, thanks to their vision, many of our rivers are in crisis and, more than err, Australians realise that our destiny will be shaped by water." Weight (before packaging): 465g 2009.
