Biography & Memoir History Australiana
Rodney Liddell’s Cape York The Savage Frontier is a hardcover Australian history classic that plunges readers into the untamed tip of Queensland. Blending memoir, cultural study and true adventure, the 276-page narrative charts the people, battles and landscapes that forged the Cape’s fierce reputation.
This 1999 first edition is personally inscribed by the author, making it a collectible find for devotees of signed Australiana. While the dust jacket carries honest shelf wear and a few early pages show minor edge bumps, the binding is square and every map and photo plate remains intact and readable.
Ideal for young adults and grown history buffs, the book doubles as an engaging textbook and a ripping yarn of exploration and survival. Foxing is light and occasional; pages 57–68 carry small indents that never obscure text, so the story of Australia’s last frontier can be enjoyed cover to cover.
Add this scarce signed copy of Cape York The Savage Frontier to your library and own a piece of Australia’s dramatic northern saga, flaws and all.
