Sinopsis
Excerpt from River Rovers
Directly within View, tossing up and down on the Waters of Watson's Bay, rode Jim's 16-foot motor skiff.
An idea came to me. I rolled over on the warm sand and faced Jones with a tentative proposition.

Excerpt from River Rovers
The day was like a sapphire set in an emerald. The harbor waves broke, softly as the opening of lotus buds in Aidenn, on the beach before us. We heard the deep seas tolling on the Gap and soughing round South Head, as Jim Jones and I dabbled our toes in the sand and smoked in sensuous laze. The Marine Parade was beautiful, but conventional and unadventurous. The glory of life in our blood set our pulses leaping towards wider fields. We spoke of the Bush and the Outer places.
The day warmed and grew, and the wander-lust grew with it.
Directly within view, tossing up and down on the Waters of Watson's Bay, rode Jim's 16-foot motor skiff.
An idea came to me. I rolled over on the warm sand and faced Jones with a tentative proposition.
"I'd like to take a motor boat down the Murray, from Albury to Adelaide," I said, "and see the Riverine."
Jim shut one eye and regarded the smoke-curls critically with the other.
"How far?" he asked.
"Fifteen hundred measured miles."
