Description: Perched on Queensland's western edge where the bitumen bends toward the Northern Territory, Camooweal is a town shaped by vast horizons, deep time, and the people who have crossed its plains. This book traces the story of the region from its Indjalandji-Dhidhanu custodians and the great droving era to the hidden limestone caves that riddle the country beneath the spinifex. Along the way, it explores life on the dry margin, the highways that bind the outback together, and the enduring character of a border township that refuses to fade. A vivid portrait of one of Australia's most remote and quietly remarkable places.
