Great Ugly River
Great Ugly River: A Modern Adventure in Australia's Outback | Mike Leyland, Mal Leyland
1 post
"The spirit of adventure burns fierce in the hearts of most young Australians but few an find challenges big enough to satisfy it. This is a book about three young men who did. Mike and Malcolm Leyland and Keith Davey, all city-bred lads from Newcastle, set out in an open boat to conquer the 1400 miles of Darling River from Queensland to Victoria. .The Darling River Expedition on Australia's 'Great Ugly River' - as the Aborigines called it - has some of the fascination of a modern Kon Tiki. And some of the hilarity of Three Men In A Boat."

Where I travel back to the Darling River in 1963 to journey the river with the Leyland Brothers. Thanks to Mike & Mal Leyland for Great Ugly River.
