About the book >.>.> The last continent to be found in Europe's age-long search for treasure, Australia has perhaps been more affected by the winning of base and precious metals than any other country. The find-ing and mining of metals have influ-enced racial policies, unionism, religious life, law and politics. Out of the ground has come wealth to create new in-dustries. Australia's map is criss-crossed with the tracks of the metal seekers, and this is the story of their successes and failures. It is also the story of the pioneers of the mining towns, the gamblers, and the industrial giants of the great companies. But as well as being an absorbing story this is an important book, a well-documented history by a man well qualified to write it. The scene ranges from the turbulent goldfields of New South Wales and Vic-toria to the 'new Cornwalls of South Australia, from the steaming tropical north to the mists and high mountains of Tasmania's west coast, from Broken Hill and its smoking chimneys to the waterle.
