The Nullarbor Story
Author: Basil Fuller
Hard cover with dust jacket. Very good condition. First edition.
The Nullarbor Story by Basil Fuller recounts the history, exploration, and unique character of the Nullarbor Plain, one of the world’s largest limestone karst landscapes. Fuller traces the region’s early Indigenous presence, European exploration, and the challenges faced by settlers, travellers, and engineers who crossed its vast, treeless expanse. He highlights the development of key routes such as the transcontinental railway and the Eyre Highway, illustrating how the Nullarbor evolved from an isolated barrier into a crucial link across Australia. Blending historical detail with vivid descriptions of the harsh yet striking environment, the book captures both the hardships and the enduring fascination of this iconic outback region.
