Men of the Jungle [Daintree Far North Queensland] – Ion Idriess
Short Description
Published by Angus and Robertson, Sydney, a 1955 edition in very good condition. Octavo, end paper maps, illustrated from period photographs.
One reviewer stated ‘This must be one of the most delightful books on Australia that has ever been written” … high praise indeed … and worthy.
Idriess and his mates, for three years, in the back of Cooktown and the Daintree River … the aboriginals, the characters … special and more interesting than any fiction.
Ion Idriess in the Far North among his mates
