"Ion Idriess, bushman, prospector, and one of Australia's favourite tale-tellers, writes here the pioneering story of the silver-lead-zinc mines at Broken Hill from which has developed in the past fifty years Australia's vast iron and steel industry. Prosperity began with the silver rush of the 1880's. Shares multiplied their value 10,000 times in twelve-month. Magnificent opals were found, artesian water was tapped, sheep and cattle kingdoms flourished, ravaged the land and disappeared....every page is packed with real life adventure."
