Dear ExplorOz Reader,
In the last couple of days we have added 15 new products to the shop - mostly
books, but also some items we've never stocked before such as "audio
books", "kids books" and even a raffle ticket for charity. So sit
back and browse online - Xmas shopping has never been easier for those that love
the outback... New Len Beadell Products |
|---|
 | A
lifetime in the Bush: Biography of Len Beadell Len Beadell can lay claim to being the last of the great explorers of
Australia: in the 1950's and 60's he undertook solo surveys which led to the
building of many of the roads travelled today only by 4WD vehicles in the
most remote areas of Australia's outback. But Len was more than just a
surveyor - he was an author, cartoonist, raconteur and, above all, a great
family man. A great story about a great man - a great gift that will be
appreciated by anyone who loves remote Australia. |
|  | Too
Long in the Bush - Video Part 2 This video is a sequel to 'Too Long in the Bush - Part 1' which we've had
on the shop for a long time now. The reason we didn't initially stock Part 2
was because it was compiled after Len's death but due to popular demand we
have now taken this into our regular stock. So to all those that have dying
for us to get it in - get your orders in now! |
| Expeditions of our Outback Explorers |
|---|
 | The
Beckoning West: The story of H.S. Trotman and the Canning Stock Route. Author Elanor Smith researched this book by spending many days by the
campfire listening to Trotmans stories. She has enabled Trotman to tell his
story of 5 expeditions on the CSR. A must-read for any CSR traveller,
especially since the other well-known CSR guide book to the history of the
Canning by the Gard's is still currently out of print. |
|  | The
Calvert Scientific Exploring Expedition 1896-7 This is a must-read for a Canning Stock Route or Calvert Ranges trip.
This is Calvert's personal journal and is not only of historical interest
but will guide you to find some amazing things in the Calvert Ranges that
are not documented anywhere else. |

Australia by author Alan Moorehead. A must-read for anyone travelling to
