‘An accident – brought about by youthful carelessness and related in a graphic first chapter – left Dave Burchell with, as he so pithily expresses it, One Foot in the Grave.
However, membership of the one-legged fraternity has not hampered Burchell’s activities in any way.
With deft touches of dry Australian humour he outlines his fortunes as LAC Burchell, RAAF; life in South Australia’s outback as mustering-camp cook, station-hand and stud master to ‘Burchell’s brothel’; exhibitions with the SA Swimming Association Diving Troupe; and busy days as a ‘back of beyond’ oil company representative. ‘136 : illus., group ports. ; 23 cm. #0321 (Scuffing to jacket – see image).
