December 5, 2021This book is a fascinating account into a seaplane lost in the Kimberleys in 1932. Australia is a harsh and unforgiving land in this remote region, and I found it remarkable that anyone without knowledge of it could survive for so long.
I have read many true stories of survival, and I thought this one was well written, coherent, and engaging. The author has done a good job addressing conflicting accounts of the events.
This book also includes a number of interesting photographs. I love survival stories with photographs.
This book was written in the late 70s. It highlights past injustices towards Indigenous Australians, while using some terms and attitudes which are no longer appropriate. The treatment of Indigenous Australians continues to be an issue today.
"Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this
book contains the images and names of people who have passed away."
