An "on the ground" history of 150 years of settlement at Bowen Downs, the first property selected in Central Western Queensland, Australia.
Selected by William Landsborough and Nat Buchanan, the property is synonymous with the Scottish Australian Company who owned it for 110 years; Harry Readford who stole 1000 head of Bowen Downs cattle; Boyd Dunlop Morehead who became Queensland's tenth Premier; the poisoning of shearers in 1895, and much more.
It contains first-hand accounts of life throughout the years on the station and depicts the way of life.
