The Cassowary; What Chanced In The Cleft Mountains

By Stanley Waterloo

Book Overview

A brisk, breath-catching journey into the heart of the Australian high country, The Cassowary; What Chanced In The Cleft Mountains invites readers to traverse peril and wonder in a time when maps were still being drawn and courage was measured in grit. This full, restored edition offers more than a reprint: it is a complete, lovingly prepared experience of public domain fiction that blends classic adventure fiction with nature writing classics. Stanley Waterloo's early twentieth century novel threads mountain exploration intrigue with the quiet drama of colonial era exploration, set against a rugged Australian wilderness.
