Two books in one.

Across the Top by Malcolm Douglas.

First published in 1972.

Four years in the Top End for Malcolm Doughlas and co-author David Oldmeadow resulted in the film Across the Top and in this wonderful account of a country where some of the Aboriginal people they met still bore the scars of bullet wounds suffered in fighting the white invaders.

Cape York to Kimberley by George Farwell.

George Farwell's book is another in-depth exploration of the fascinating far north region. He paints a sympathetic picture of the people he met and seeks out the ancient life patterns in the tropical wetlands, rainforests and spectacular hill country he travelled through.
