“One advantage of canoeing is that you are continually tempted to digress, to ole the bow into odd corners and creeks and inlets.  There is quite a lot of such digression in this book, too – wanderings off into Australian slang and customs, and art and living conditions as they appear to the overseas visitor.  Perhaps three is even more than in my other books, because I was so often begged for just such little sidelights on life in Australia by friends at home who think of coming out here.”
