This timely book is a history of the iconic Australian towns that arose with these booms over a century: Broken Hill, Mount Isa, Queenstown, Mount Morgan, Port Pirie and Kambalda. Mining Towns shows the rich cultural and historical legacy these towns helped create as townspeople - those working below the ground and those above - sought to make their lives in them. The current 'fly-in-fly-out' mining culture means we may not see the likes of them again, which, as this book shows, will be a great loss. 606 $aMineral industries$xSocial aspects$zAustralia 606 $aMiners$xDwellings$zAustralia 606 $aCities and towns$zAustralia 615 0$aMineral industries$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMiners$xDwellings 615 0$aCities and towns 676 $a338.2 700 $aEklund$b Erik$g(Erik Carl),$01229494 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910652053203321 996 $aMining towns$92853880 997 $aUNINA
