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.

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.
