Description: Journey along one of Central Queensland's vital waterways, from its origins in the rugged Expedition Range to its meeting with the Fitzroy River system. This richly detailed exploration traces the Mackenzie through brigalow country, uncovering the deep Indigenous heritage of its banks, the arrival of European pastoralists, and the growth of the towns that shaped the basin. With chapters on the river's dramatic cycles of flood and drought, alongside contemporary conservation efforts, this is an essential portrait of a landscape defined by water. A thoughtful blend of natural history, human story, and environmental insight.
