At seventeen, Tom Cole left England, lured by the posters that beckoned young empire builders to the colonies. He arrived to a harsh, unyielding and alien land. Australia.
Twenty-five years later, Tom was an outback legend.
Famed as an expert horseman and a skilled crocodile and buffalo hunter, Tom lived a life most people only dream about. Now, thanks to Tom's mother in England who kept all his letters, and to the diaries Tom wrote to keep track of the days, we have a unique and remarkable record of what his day-to-day life was really like.
