WEST AUSTRALIANA Agriculture

This visual record of important and interesting moments in the State’s history shows how Western Australia was shaped – before and after European settlement of Australia’s western third of King GeorgeSound (Albany) in 1826, more than two years before the founding of the Swan River Settlement (Fremantle and Perth) in 1829. Wonderful photography throughout. 297 x 210mm., (oblong), pp. 232, black & white plates throughout. Large paperback (oblong), stiff illustrated card covers with French folds, (flaps).

Much has changed in rural and regional Western Australia since the first Merino was shorn in the Avon Valley in the 1830s.

The courage and tenacity shown by the early pioneers, the hardships they had to endure and the obstacles they had to overcome are documented in Country Images.

The pictures and photographs in Country Images, a companion volume to Western Images, come mainly from the resources of the West Australian Newspapers, publisher of the Countryman, which with its predecessor, the original Western Mail, has been recording WA’s rural and regional development and lifestyle since 1885.
