Format:Taschenbuch
It is pleasing that one can still escape to different times and different settings to the environment we city dwellers live in today. Tom Cole gives us a no nonsense insight into a remarkable life of buffalo and crocodile hunting.

Not So Long Ago...
12. Juli 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Tom Cole reveals the Northern Territory of Australia in all its untamed and raw delights. Amazingly we had barely encroached on this area just 50 years ago, a fact he bears witness to. He passed away just a few years ago, but left us several good books before he departed. This one relates the story of his life as a stockman (cowboy) and croc hunter, of the people & cattle stations which began to spread across the territory, and attests to the difficulty in establishing their viability.
Hell West and Crooked by Tom Cole
28. Februar 2010
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Hell West and Crooked derives it's title from an Australian stockman's term to describe cattle and livestock scattered far and wide all over the Outback countryside.
This book is part biography, part adventure, and part history. Tom Cole was the real deal, a son of the great Australian Outback, and a keen observer of what it was like to live in the Northern Territory of Australia in the 1920's and 1930's. It is an easy and entertaining journal of this young man's life in those wild times. He was a stockmen, horse breaker, consummate horseman, buffalo hunter, and crocodile hunter long before Mick Dundee.
Tom Cole's writing style vividly presents what it was like to live on the frontier of a still sparsely populated land even today.
