Biography & Memoir History Australiana
Wharfies: The History Of The Waterside Workers Federation by Margo Beasley offers a richly illustrated look at the development of Australia’s waterside labor movement, blending biography, cultural history, and transportation studies for both young adult and adult readers. This hardcover volume is a solid addition to any collection of Australian history, labor studies, or non‑fiction narratives.
The book arrives with its original dust jacket and bears the typical library stamps of an ex‑library copy. The front paper has been clipped, a corner is cut out, and there is minor writing on the page join, while the publication page shows some pencil notes.
Overall the condition is fair for a used library edition, with the illustrations intact and the text fully readable, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the social and economic story of Australia’s waterfront workers.
