The nearest neighbour was a thousand miles away and the wool still reached market. Carpenter tours Australia, New Zealand and the South Sea islands in the years after the war, on the sheep, the harbours, the copra and the settlers, and on what it takes to build modern countries at the far end of every shipping line on earth.
