A blend of travel writing, historical narrative, geography and personal reflection, spiced with real-life adventure, Messing About in Earnest is many hours of idle pleasure.
A river journey in a small boat called Earnest, which could be through almost any Australian city – a sort of antipodean ‘one man in a boat’ – Nick Burningham’s book is a humorous and informative story of the Swan and Canning rivers, and of the people, places and history he encounters. pp. 430 illusts First Edition.
