Welcome to Australia, in all its raw glory. Sorrel Wilby has written this guide to help you thwart danger in the Australian 'boonies' (from the desert to the sea) not court it.
Learn about the basics of survival - water, fire, food and shelter, basic first aid, navigation, life-saving bush craft - and how to tap into the innate human will survive.
Discover and find out how to deal with the dangerous flora and fauna that cover this wide brown land. Read the signs of dangerous weather patterns and protect yourself from extreme exposure in the wild outdoors. Written with a touch of larrikin humour, Sorrel provides a mix of the practical and the humorous plus a list of important contacts to make and help you survive while travelling through the outback, the tropics, the bush and along the coast.
A must-have book for anyone thinking about travelling, trekking and camping in the Australian wilderness.
