Description

LEN BEADELL OAM was often called the last of the true Australian explorers. As a surveyor and road builder he worked all over the outback from Arnhem Land to the Gibson Desert. He was also a much-loved author who brought outback Australians onto the page in all their vivid originality.
Drawn from his best-selling books, these stories sparkle with humour and paint a fascinating picture of the hard work, the bush characters and the rollicking adventure that were all part of Len Beadell’s rich experience.

Len’s experiences as he explored and surveyed Australia’s vast Outback were the source of hundreds of fascinating stories which have all contributed to the colourful fabric which goes to make up the Australian character.

Len Beadell will be remembered by history, amongst other things, for his fine sense of story-telling, his acute sense of timing, and his prodigious memory.
