Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, some rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, a little discoloration to covers, age toned pages, foxing to endpapers, previous owners’ details stamped on half title page, old price marked on front cover (see photographs)

“A young man achieves his ambition to drive for Cobb and Co. and finds adventure and romance on the outback roads in the 1860s.  Bushrangers, hold-ups, races, an account of the first Melbourne Cup – fiction and fact are blended in this story of an era of brave men and gallant horses galloping into history and legend with Australia’s most famous coaching company.”
