Walkabout Reviews

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. * New York Times *
