Sobre IBD

Two immigrants from two countries who live at the Point Pass Butter Factory 140 years apart.On Worlds End Highway is the true story of an immigrant from Prussia who becomes the matriarch of a family that runs a successful business for seventy-five years. And a contemporary immigrant from America who renovates for the future and discovers a remarkable history.Colonial South Australia reveals itself yesterday and today: mining booms and drought, paddleboats and ports amidst plagues, fire and searing heat-and a luscious garden echoing the calls of bushland birds.A story that relives the past and sits in the present: two parallel lives anchored at an extraordinary place.
