Spinifex and Sand is a memoir written by David W. Carnegie, detailing his five-year pioneering and exploration journey in Western Australia. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part describing Carnegie's journey from Coolgardie to Halls Creek, where he and his team encountered various challenges such as harsh weather conditions, lack of water, and hostile Aboriginal tribes. The second part of the book focuses on Carnegie's exploration of the Gibson Desert, where he discovered a vast amount of spinifex and sand, hence the book's title. He also describes the flora and fauna of the region, including the elusive marsupial mole. Throughout the book, Carnegie provides a vivid account of his experiences, including his interactions with the Aboriginal people he encountered, the landscapes he traversed, and the hardships he endured. He also includes detailed maps and illustrations, making it an informative and insightful read for those interested in Australian history, exploration, and geography. Overall, Spinifex and Sand is a captivating memoir that offers a unique perspective on Western Australia's early pioneering and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
