Triumph Of The Nomads

Biography & Memoir History Australiana

Triumph of the Nomads by Geoffrey Blainey re-examines Australian history from the perspective of its Aboriginal nations, arguing that their adaption to an unforgiving continent was a quiet but remarkable triumph. In this 1975 first edition hardcover, the acclaimed historian blends geography, culture and biography to trace how Indigenous Australians thrived for millennia before European settlement.

Macmillan’s first printing, complete with illustrated dust jacket, brings 285 pages of cultural history to life for collectors, students and anyone curious about Australia’s deeper past. The volume is clean, tight and unmarked, with only light foxing along the top edge—typical of vintage Australiana—and has spent its life in a smoke-free home.

Ideal for readers of Aboriginal history, geography or true Australian stories, this scarce first edition adds authority to any antiquarian shelf. Secure this well-preserved copy of Geoffrey Blainey’s Triumph of the Nomads today.
