Summary: Tells the story of the expansion of Australia's pastoral industry, how it drove European settlement and involved Aboriginal people in the new settlersociety. The rural life that once saw Australia 'ride on the sheep's back' is no longer whatdefines us, yet it is largely our history as a pastoral nation that has endured inheritage places and which is embedded in our self-image as Australians.
