From the saddle horse to the motorcar, the cheap tram to the paddle

Demonstrating how European settlements and technologies impacted the
means of travel—Aborigines previously journeyed by foot or in canoes
made from eucalyptus trees—this lavishly illustrated record interweaves
facts and anecdotes to portray the development of transport Down Under.
