Bush Battleground Barcaldine 1891 by Peter and Sheila Forrest unpacks the fierce 1891 shearers’ strike that put Barcaldine at the centre of Australian labour history. This first-edition hardcover pairs crisp black-and-white photos with a fold-out map to show how sheep stations became battlegrounds for fair pay and workers’ rights.

The 136-page illustrated reference, published by Shady Tree for Barcaldine Regional Council in 2009, is pitched to young adults and adults curious about Queensland’s pastoral past. Clean, unmarked pages, no ex-library stamps, and only light scuffing make this copy a tidy shelf addition for collectors of Australian historical non-fiction.
