| A compilation of essays and adventures, originally
printed in the Melbourne 'Age,' edited and freshly illustrated especially
for this book.
"To read this book is to go walking with the most sensitive and
appreciative guides. You walk in the rain and wind, wade through swamps,
crawl on frosty grass or the defy the hot sun of summer beneath an open
sky.
It is a rich, exciting and stimulating experience to walk with Robin
Hill. Nature plays on him like a harp and it is this music that one
hears in his prose."
Alan Marshall (from the foreword to Bush Quest)
