Hardback. Roger Pegrum, Hale & Iremonger. Condition remarks:Book: Fair Jacket: Chipped and worn with some minor damagePages: Good Markings: Fair - Bumping on spine and corners. Rubbed edges.A richly detailed work of Australian political and urban history, The Bush Capital chronicles the fascinating and often contentious process by which the young federation of Australia selected Canberra as the site of its purpose-built national capital. Roger Pegrum uncovers the fierce rivalries between Sydney and Melbourne, the constitutional compromises, and the surveying expeditions that ultimately shaped one of the world's few deliberately planned capital cities. Written with authoritative clarity, the narrative presents the key figures, political negotiations, and geographic debates that defined the decision, painting a vivid portrait of a nation still finding its identity in the early twentieth century. Pegrum illustrates how the choice of a remote bush site was as much a product of colonial jealousy and federal compromise as it was of practical planning, making this an indispensable read for anyone interested in Australian history, politics, or urban development.
