This book was written by J. J. Parer in 1922 with the purpose of informing people of the 'necessity' of a white development of the North of Australia, and the benefits of supporting a white development or in fact moving to the area.

The book includes information on the resources of the Northern Territory, its farming possibilities including stock, tobacco, rice and cotton, its history, and the mining industry.

An interesting book demonstrating the strong opinions and fears throughout Australia during this time period while providing useful information on the Northern Territory.
