Ruins of a ghost town tower above the scrub of the inaccessible Capertee Valley. Glen Davis reconstructs the bustling streets and fire belching furnaces of 60 years ago, when Australia¿s biggest refinery operated in remote isolation. This big, beautifully illustrated book describes the technology of the shale oil industry and the colourful characters who lived there. It tells of the bright hopes and dismal failure that sparked and doused a nation¿s pioneering effort to produce its own petrol.
