“Here is a robust picture of an Australia which few people know.  Jeff Carter writes in his usual forthright and picturesque style about the people he met when he turned his back on the cities… the true individualists such as the maker of flintlock muskets, the bird-imitator, the builder of dry stone walls.  He tells also of how he and his family took over an overgrown farm in the hills, and of their fashioning of a new and richly satisfying way of life far from traffic-lights and smog.”
