“The Author, widely known for his nature writing and popular descriptive books on Australia, in 1943-4 enjoyed the most extensive individual tour ever made in Tasmania.  He visited nearly every district, covering approximately 7,000 miles by motor cat, besides travelling afoot through wild country, climbing mountains and roaming through forests which he found enchanting in their primeval beauty.”
