Outback Highways

LEN BEADELL OAM was often called the last of the true Australian explorers. As a surveyor and road builder he worked all over the outback from Arnhem Land to the Gibson Desert. This special commemorative edition of Outback Highways is being released to mark the centenary of Len Beadell's birth. He was a much-loved author who brought outback Australians onto the page in all their vivid originality. Drawn from his best-selling books, these stories sparkle with humour and paint a fascinating picture of the hard work, the bush characters and the rollicking adventure that were all part of Len Beadell's rich experience.
