SAVE THAT SONG: Conquering the Outback My Way

Memoir, traveller’s tale and nature guide. A memoir of a man who gave up urban life to follow a passion – the songs of the outback birds of Australia. He spent many years, living rough, recording the multitude of sounds, mainly in the far North and the North West of Western Australia, long before some of the current towns even existed. His journeyings show the harshness of the bush in its heat and in its ‘wet’, but his eyes see its beauty and he tells of its dangers to the unwary traveller. The author travelled the coastal region of WA for fifteen years recording birdcalls. He writes about the wildlife and local commmunities.
