History Australiana Local & Regional History
Triumph of the Nomads: A History of Ancient Australia by Geoffrey Blainey offers a compelling look at Australia’s early peoples, blending cultural history and archaeology for both young adult and adult readers. This first‑edition, 1975 hardcover is a valued addition to any Australian history or folklore collection.
The book arrives with its original dust jacket, a notable feature for collectors, and retains the sturdy binding typical of Blainey’s works. Its pages are clean, tidy and free of any writing, reflecting careful handling over the years.
Condition is good overall, with minor scuffing and creasing on the dust jacket and some age‑related discoloration on the front inner cover. A single dog‑eared page is present, but the text remains intact and readable.
A vintage, smoke‑free home provenance adds confidence for buyers seeking a well‑preserved piece of Australian cultural history.
