Once it was the wandering ‘swaggie’ tramping the bush tracks, who learnt the most about the unusual places and people of Australia. Now it’s done in a specially equipped vehicle by Jeff Carter and his wife, who are on the lookout for the off-beat characters, incidents and features. He met the late Sir Donald Campbell, streaking across the Lake Eyre in the Bluebird and Charley King, travelling the outback in a tiny caravan pulled by a donkey team. They saw cattle musters, opal gouging, charcoal burning, limpet-eating star fish and man-eating leeches. They travelled from the mountains of the south to the deserts of the north and everywhere saw something new and strange. Illustrated with many black and white photographs.
