Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in the challenging final decade of the 19th century, the story explores the struggles of Palmerston, South Australia's Top End settlement. Major industries like mining, pastoralism, and agriculture faced significant downturns, compounded by disease and isolation. The community's frustration with their 'white elephant' intensified after the devastating Great Hurricane of 1897, leading to increasing demands for the Northern Territory's return to British Colonial rule.
