He thinks of himself as a writer for adults, but his literary awards come from work done for that far more exacting audience, young people. He also writes about beetles mating with beer bottles, stressing rabbits in a 44 gallon drum with Acme Thunderers, rescuing echidnas, walking up small mountains and being inside volcanoes. They say that those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad, but he maintains that he beat them to the punch.edit

This story began in a talk I gave at Birrong Girls High, when I used a shot of myself near a lava flow on Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Primary source material, selected, edited and compiled by an ageing writer, making sure it doesn't get wasted when he carks it at some unspecified future time. Drawn from out-of-print books, old newspapers and even from manuscripts, these are the fruits of a lifetime of researching Australian history, organised into themes with additional notes in some cases, complete with links to the sources.

I have classed this as a teaching document, because I hope it will alert students to what is available out there.
