"Beyond the Western Rivers" chronicles the White family's life on Morden and Wonnaminta stations in the isolated New South Wales outback, beyond the Darling River, during a time when wireless and planes hadn't yet diminished the bush's remoteness. The narrative captures the essence of a self-contained world, rich with the adventurous escapades of two boys and their irrepressible sister, ensuring life is never dull.
Interwoven with these personal stories are the realities of station life: working with livestock, enduring dramatic floods and dust storms, battling droughts, and celebrating good seasons. The book offers a friendly and authentic depiction of a family's growth and experiences in a challenging yet fascinating environment, painting a vivid picture of the Australian outback.
