Description: Journey from the misty heights of the Central Tablelands to the vast wetlands of Australia's inland delta in this comprehensive portrait of one of New South Wales' most vital waterways. Tracing the Macquarie's course through colonial history, engineered dams, and thriving river towns, this book explores how a single river has shaped landscapes, livelihoods, and ecosystems across the state. From the cotton fields of the western plains to the endangered fish beneath the surface, readers will discover the delicate balance between human need and natural rhythm. A timely reflection on climate, agriculture, and the future of a river system under pressure.
