In Great Australian Historic Hotels, each hotel provides its own tantalizing insight into the development of our nation as seen from its windows, porches, and balconies. From the tragic immigration tales of Q Station to the mining of oil shale by the Glen Davis Hotel in NSW's Capertee Valley; from the political skulduggery at the Hyatt Hotel Canberra to the viticulture of Padthaway Homestead; from the expansion of the Swan River Colony near Faversham House to the Victorian Gold Rush alongside Freeman on Ford. These hotels have seen it all, and they have rather a lot to say in the most salubrious of settings. We journey to every state in the nation, sometimes to the hotels we all know or think we know;like the Windsor in Melbourne;but most often to places we've never heard of. Places like North Bundaleer and Foxhunters Return, Poltalloch Station, and Schouten House, hotels selected not for their glitz factor or their star ratings necessarily, but for their ability to tell a story. Their story and a story of all of Australia, too. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: History; Australian History; Australia; ISBN: . ISBN/EAN: 9781742374086.
