Red Kangaroo Books is an independent bookstore in Alice Springs and has been trading for over decade. Our bookstore specialises in Australian and Indigenous books and serves a varied community of readers. We stock a large range of books that cover Indigenous history and art; Indigenous language books; local and regional history; biographies of local and larger-than-life heroes; fiction; children's books; and flora, fauna and natural history books. We believe we are the only bricks-and-mortar bookshop still standing between Port Augusta, Darwin, Broome and Broken Hill.
The story of C.T. Madigan's 1932 Geological Expedition to the Tanami Desert in search of gold and the rush that followed.
Baume describes his journey through the Red Centre to the desert and "the world's loneliest field". He describes the daily routine in search of gold and what was required to sustain life in this inhospitable area. He gives a brief account of the Coniston Massacre of 1928, police patrols in the Centre, the Inland Mission, desert aborigines and the challenges that confront them, and some of the characters he encountered during his time in the Territory.
Tragedy Track was re-published to commemorate a milestone in one of Australia's greatest success stories - the pouring of the one millionth ounce of gold from North Flinders Mines Limited's Tanami Desert deposits in the Northern Territory on 13 September 1994.
The Company's remarkable achievements - culminating in the discovery and mining of rich gold deposits at The Granites area of the Tanami - are traced in the final pages of this new edition.
We are a family owned local business with a passion for reading, all things books and supporting Australian and local authors. We love getting to know our customers and finding just the 'right' book for them. Our staff have the same commitment to service that we do and can offer suggestions on demand! Our focus is on Australian and regional. We have an extensive collection of books and DVDs about Indigenous culture, language and history. We also have a carefully curated selection of international authors. If we do not have what you need, we will make every effort to get it in for you. When you spend money with us, you are contributing to the local economy - but our customers tell us they shop with us because they love our range of books and our service.
