Notes

  • 'We wrote The Rifle and the Spear because we are appalled by the ignorance of the majority of Australians of their own nation's pioneering history.... This book is an attempt to tell at least a fragment of the epochal story that belongs to Queensland's early days and to do justice to the indomitable men who blazed the colony's unmapped, perilous trails' (from the Authors' foreword).
