The Great Australian Loneliness. Ernestine Hill

Аннотация:

'This is the story of a journalist's journey round and across Australia… It was in July 1930 that I first set out, a wandering "copy-boy" with swag and typewriter, to find what lay beyond the railway lines…' Ernestine Hill's classic account of travelling in the Australian outback, in a pilgrimage of many years and 100,000 miles. "The most picturesque account of our outback that has yet been written… a vivid and arresting page of Australian history." – Adelaide Advertiser "With zest, humour and a warm sympathy, Hill brings life to a frontier…" – New York Herald Tribune "A travel book that is a pleasure to recommend." – The Irish Times
