Bush Battleground Barcaldine 1891 by Peter and Sheila Forrest delivers a vivid, illustrated dive into the fiery Queensland shearers’ strike that shaped Australian labour history. This 2009 first-edition hardcover blends biographical detail with rare photographs, maps and archival images to recreate the tension of the Barcaldine camp in 1891.

Ideal for collectors of Australian history or regional Queenslandana, the 136-page reference traces the stand-off between sheep shearers and pastoralists, showing how the conflict forged national unionism. Black-and-white photos bring the bush battleground to life, while the fold-out map pinpoints key sites around the central-west town.

The book is in very good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, no ex-library stamps, from a smoke-free home. Covers show only light scuffing and a shallow scratch to the rear board, leaving it clean and sturdy for reading or display.
