Praise for Walkabout

Very tender, very touching, and sketched out with no sign of strain. The descriptions of the Australian bush are first-rate.

New Statesman

A deeply-felt book, filled with information about desert flora and fauna.

Times Literary Supplement

A small classic, pared down to the bare bones. many will not only enjoy it, but long remember it.
