First published in 1937, this is Ion Idriess's book about life in the Kimberley region in Western Australia. Idriess records his experiences while accompanying a Nor'-west Mounted Police Patrol for twelve hundred miles through the Kimberleys, north of the Wunaamin-Miliwundi Ranges.
Condition
Fair. The big issue is that this book was owned by a smoker and it has retained a tobacco smell (this should recede in time). The book remains in good readable condition, the pages clean but a little age-toned, and the binding secure. The dustwrapper is heavily chipped to the edges and has been price-clipped but is now within a protective sleeve.
