Publishers Description: It took Andrew Lennox twenty-two weeks to ride a horse from Adelaide to Darwin. It was 1899 and the only track followed the overland telegraph. A year later he road back on a bicycle. Actually, he walked beside it quite a lot. A self-appointed missionary, Andrew struggled on for five years among crocodiles, snakes and buffalo hunters near South Alligator River, in Kakadu National Park. 109 years later, Andrews grandson rented a Commodore and did the trip a bit faster. He went to most of the places Andrew described in his diary and tracked down the Aboriginal family that now occupies the site of Andrews mission. After Andrew describes the Australian experiences of these two New Zealanders. Its witty, moving and even informative story - dashes of history and local colour, a Coopers or two and Andrews sober recollections of his bold and foolhardy exploits.
