“A Different Vision: The Real History of South Australia” by Russell Porter, illustrated by Jim Cane.

Published by Precipice Press. This fascinating vintage book presents an alternative perspective on South Australian history, moving beyond the traditional “precious fairy tale” narratives to explore the social and political realities of the state’s development. Features detailed illustrations and satirical cartoons, including commentary on Adelaide’s urban development and social issues. The book appears to be from the 1970s-1980s era, with distinctive orange and black cover art depicting Adelaide’s skyline and monuments. Published in Collinswood, SA, this appears to be a locally produced work offering critical social commentary on South Australia’s evolution.
In good condition generally but some staining and minor page edge damage.
