Only 40p. but a much needed title on subject in demand. One of WA's most important pioneers, a great engineer who designed and constructed the Kalgoorlie pipeline.

Offers a brief insight into the achievement and eventual destruction of a gentle-minded Irishman who put Western Australia on the map.
