- Summary:
-
“On the morning of January 28th, 1919, a train load of Queenslanders was returning home from Sydney. When they pulled into Tenterfield, officials ordered them off the train. They could go now further. The border was closed due to the influenza outbreak in Sydney and they were quarantined for at least a week. squashed into every available billet in town, they waited. Over the next few days, more trains arrived from the south, extending the quarantine period indefinitely. How the travellers and the local people coped while governments dithered and bickered makes a fascinating and often amusing story.”--Back cover.
