A comprehensive survey of Australian agricultural history, The Farming of Australia chronicles the remarkable story of how European settlers transformed a vast and often unforgiving continent into one of the world's most productive farming nations. Robin Bromby details the challenges faced by early pioneers as they battled drought, flood, and unfamiliar terrain, while gradually developing the pastoral and cropping systems that would define the nation's rural identity. The work presents a sweeping account of the evolution of farming practices across Australia's diverse regions, from the wheat belts of the south to the cattle stations of the north, illustrating the ingenuity and resilience of generations of Australian farmers. Written with authority and a deep appreciation for the land, this is an essential reference for anyone interested in the social, economic, and environmental forces that have shaped rural Australia.
