“Coorong is a book with a special purpose.  In prose and picture, it seeks to develop the wilderness theme and to emphasise its importance to mankind.  The Coorong, therefore, becomes more than merely a unique region in South Australia; it is symbolic.  It is a source of spiritual renewal – one of those rare places that “should be preserved as hunting grounds for the poetic imagination.”
Colin Thiele’s prose and Mike McKelvey’s photographs are well suited to evoke this special spirit.”
