AUSTRALIA’S HIGHWAY ONE encompasses the huge outer rim of the continent, traversing the five mainland States and the Northern Territory in its 7664 miles. In “Around Australia on Highway One,” George Farwell takes his readers on an effectively-described and lavishly-illustrated tour which begins at Cairns and ends at Darwin, discovering almost everything that man can grow, harvest, fabricate, or improvise. The journey passes through extremes of country and climate, and Includes the capital cities on the mainland, except Canberra. The journey on Highway One in Mr Farwell’s company gives a remarkably complete picture of an enormous land. The picture above, from one of the many full-page illustrations in the book, shows bottle trees in Central Queensland. “Around Australia on Highway One” is published by Nelson.
