Sinopsis

With Foreword by Herbert Basedow, M.D., B.Sc., author of The Australian Aboriginal, extracts from Lasseter's Diary and Letters and photographs of the 1930 Expedition.

Morning Post (London) - "Perhaps the greatest of Australia's real life epics."

Otago Daily Times (NZ) - "One almost finds it difficult to believe that the story is modern and true."

Sydney Mail - "One of the most graphic, most poignant, and most absorbingly interesting tales that the chronicles of Australian exploration - those treasure stores of dramatic adventure - have ever revealed."

The Herald (Melbourne) - "A true story that for sheer excitement, thrills, and sustained suspense, cannot be surpassed by even the most imaginative novelist."

Acerca del autor

Ion Idriess (1889―1979) is one of Australias best-loved writers, with fifty-six books to his credit and millions of copies sold. When he returned from the First World War he wrote The Desert Column, about his experiences with the 5th Light Horse. Prospecting for Gold was his first major successful work; it immediately sold out and was reprinted constantly in the following years, as were many of his books. Idriess spent much of his life travelling throughout Australia, collecting material for his true-life stories, including Flynn of the Inland, The Red Chief and Nemarluk. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1968 for his contribution to Australian literature.
