Reviews for Walkabout
Very tender, very touching, and sketched out with no sign of strain. The descriptions of the Australian bush are first-rate.
New Statesman
A deeply-felt book, filled with information about desert flora and fauna.
Times Literary Supplement
A small classic, pared down to the bare bones. many will not only enjoy it, but long remember it.
