Description: The story of Australia's postal services - now 200 years old - is the story of Australia itself. At first, a small huddle of colonists awaited letters from England. Later, letters kept people in touch with each other. This is a vivid account of the adventurers, explorers and others that found ways to traverse this vast continent.
