Ghost Towns of Australia explores the abandoned and half-forgotten towns left behind by gold rushes, drought, changing industries and shifting settlement patterns. George Farwell writes about the ruins, stories and local legends of places that once seemed full of promise before being left to dust, memory and myth.

Part Australian history, part travel writing and part social record, this vintage paperback will appeal to readers interested in ghost towns, colonial history, outback stories, abandoned places and older Australiana titles.
