The Squatters by Barry Stone

Fascinating stories of the indomitable men and women who established the first cattle and sheep properties that became the foundation of a prosperous nation.
'Fascinating.. The Squatters is informative, highly readable and free from the tedious authorial posturing found in some Australian popular histories. Reading this book led me to wonder if the Australian obsession with real estate perhaps had its origins in the squatters' insatiable lust for land.' - Sydney Morning Herald
Barry Stone is a journalist and travel writer. He has written a number of works of popular history, including Great Australian Historic Hotels, The Digger's Menagerie, Mutinies, Secret Army, and Desert Anzacs, and most recently his first foray into architecture: By the Sea.
