Summary The small tin field of Maranboy is an important part of the history of he Northern Territory. It was the principal producer of tin for thirty-six of its forty long years of mining. As with many other mining communities in the north of AUstralia, the residents of Maranboy discovered thet the field's isolation was its greates obstacle to realising their expectations. These problems ensured the quest for wealth that Maranboy's rich tin loads promissed remained a formidable and challenging experience. -- back cover
