Biography & Memoir History Sport & Recreation
John Payne’s illustrated Australian bestseller Their Last Ride invites readers on a sweeping 645-page journey through the continent’s equestrian past, blending animal biography, true adventure, and modern history for hobbyists and scholars alike. Payne’s vivid storytelling and artwork celebrate the horses, riders, and outback landscapes that shaped national identity.
This 2020 first-edition paperback carries light signs of its first reading: five early pages show small punch holes, one page bears a tiny mark, and the cover has a minor edge tear; the rest of the block remains crisp, tight, and unmarked. No smoke, no writing, no stuck or dog-eared pages, making it a sturdy addition to any transport, nature, or sports collection.
Young-adult and adult fans of horse riding, field sports, and Australian history will find hours of engaging, non-fiction narrative without spoilers or heavy academic jargon. A richly illustrated keepsake that’s ready for its next ride.
