Valley of wealth
Shipping
Valley of Wealth by Ian Welsh tracks the rise and fall of the Burragorang coal seams in New South Wales, turning local mining lore into a rich nonfiction narrative for history buffs and eco-conscious readers alike. Illustrated with period maps and black-and-white photographs, this 2006 paperback brings the valley’s underground world to life without sounding like a textbook.
The book is clean and unmarked inside, sporting only a creased back cover and some harmless scuffing on the page edges. A tight binding keeps every map and photo secure, ready for shelf or backpack. From a smoke-free home, it’s an inexpensive way to add a piece of Australian industrial heritage to your collection.
Young adults and adults curious about true stories of labour, landscape, and community will find Welsh’s perspective both accessible and authentic. Grab this copy before it heads back into the shafts.
