Book Description
Australian Bushcraft is the Granddaddy of them all. Written by the Australian Army Education Service in 1943, this book gets back to basics. Forget Bear Grylls-style urine-drinking, this is the real deal information written by old soldiers who had Been There & Done That the hard way, before helicopter rescue, before PLBs and before GPS. Chapters cover firemaking without matches, procuring water from the environment, procuring animal and plant food by foraging and with snares, as well as developing an eye for "country." This is back to basics without the hype. Forgotten bushcraft wisdom, some of which you just won't find in a modern military survival manual.

Winner of the 2019 Banjo Prize for Fiction She's isolated. Trapped. Hunted. An almost unbearably tense Australian survival thriller. Not much daylight left now. So begins the field diary of Alix Verhoeven, whose impulsive acceptance of an offer to spend Easter on a remote island has turned into a terrifying ordeal. Hiding in a tiny cave, she carefully rations out her meagre supplies, while desperately trying to figure out how to escape the men hunting her. She is determined not to be a victim. What do they want with her? She knows it's nothing good - she overheard enough on that first night to flee. But now she's got little food or water, no way of calling for help, and only her skills as an exploration geologist and memories of Atkinson's Bushcraft Guide to survive. By day she is disciplined and lives by strict plans, but at night she finds herself haunted by questions about her life that she has never wanted to face. And her time is running out.

Geographies of Australian Heritages
Author: Roy JonesPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351157507
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In any settler and/or postcolonial society, heritage is a complex and contested topic that involves indigenous, imperial and other migrant components. In Australia, this situation is compounded by the unique characteristics of the country's natural environment, the considerable diversity of its migrant intake and the demographic and technological imbalances between its indigenous and settler populations. This volume brings together internationally recognized academics and emerging scholars, whose expertise extends through the areas of tourism, planning, heritage management, environmental studies and state and local government. Through a representative set of case studies from across the country's states and capital cities, the contributors demonstrate the range and diversity of heritage issues currently confronting Australia, and consider possible ways of resolving these.
