Once it was the wandering swagman, tramping the bush tracks, who learned most about the unusual places and people of Australia. Nowadays it is Jeff Carter, whose specially-equipped vehicle allows him to range Australia from the hopfields of Victoria to the canefields of Queensland; from the opal mines of Coober Pedy to the pearling luggers of Broome. There's a mighty lot of country in between, and Jeff Carter has roamed over it with an eye for the offbeat character, incident, or feature, which is as sharp as his own camera lenses.
This is a book of traveller's tales in the best possible sense, and opens up new vistas in a way which makes the reader want to go and see them for himself. Jeff Carter spins his yarns in the same style which has made his other books so popular; crips, informative, provocative, occasionally argumentative, and with many touches of wry humour. By the time your reach the last page you feel that you too have been on the Four-wheel Drive Swagman's journey...and that Jeff Carter and his wfie have been most attractive travelling companions.
