"And now, after an interval, we are looking back at the 11,000 miles round Australia journey in perspective. It is been a vital and liberating experience from beginning to end. We had travelled as Southern city bred folk whose contact with the "big country" was achieved only by deliberately organising effort -- and the cooperation of vehicle owning friends of the road. It did seem to us that we had acquired new dimension of outlook -- increased breadth from as self merchants with a spreading horizons of the land we passed through, and greater depth from our appreciation of the free, untrammelled character of many of the people we met." -- page 282 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
