Examining the lesser-known northern Alps, defined by the Namadgi–Tidbinbilla region of the Australian Capital Territory, this volume pursues its historical links with Kosciuszko National Park. Drawing on a rich oral history, this exploration captures the experiences of stockmen and skiers, scientists and surveyors, dam builders and brumby runners to paint a vivid picture of how people were shaped by the mountain environment and how they endeavored to shape it. Rare and iconic images help to convey the beauty and history of a very special part of Australia.
