Review: Ghost Towns Of Australia

User Review  - David Vernon - Goodreads

An entertaining read. Well written, well researched and containing many interesting anecdotes about Australia's lost towns. George Farwell has a clear understanding of the Australian ethos (particularly for a Pom). I will try and find more of his books to read now. Read full review
