Description

Innamincka: The Town with Two Lives by H.M. Tolcher is a concise local history of the remote South Australian township of Innamincka.

The work also acknowledges the Yawarawarka and Yandruwandha peoples and includes material relating to colonisation, traditional stories, tracking, race relations and the social history of the district.
