Yes, but it is not for sale - I make a cameo appearance in it!

Should be fairly easy to find on line, it was quite popular.

Note: Leyland, not Layland.

Not so easy to find online, my searching haven’t brought up much.

Will check BCC Library

Not looking to buy, just borrow, have a read and return. Although you’re a bit far away John.

abebooks.com says they have it available.

But I would be surprised if the BCC library did not.

That is because you are typing in Layland rather than Leyland [bigrolf]

If the BCC doesn't have it, try ICC, they have a much better library.

Found a copy in an Op Shop some years back but that's a long shot....Also found Great Ugly River which was their first trip (but in a boat).

Go onto bookfinder.com lots of copies around from $22 upwards.
BookFinder.com: Search Results (https://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&ref=bf_s2_a2_t1_2&qi=5SnQQFHbJhsQZuBVqwAIBOw4FCY_1497963026_1:95:209&bq=author%3Dmike%2520and%2520mal%2520leyland%26tit le%3Dwhere%2520dead%2520men%2520liehttps://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&ref=bf_s2_a2_t1_2&qi=5SnQQFHbJhsQZuBVqwAIBOw4FCY_1497963026_1:95:209&bq=author%3Dmike%2520and%2520mal%2520leyland%26tit le%3Dwhere%2520dead%2520men%2520lie)

I could post my copy as long as you promise to return it.

I have a number of copies of this book. One I am fortunate to have was personally dedicated to and signed by Mike and Mal to Dr David Manners, the medico who helped them out with setting up their first aid stuff for the trip. This part of the story is near the end of Chapter 1 in the book. I also have "Untamed Coast" the story of their boat trip from Darwin to Sydney, also signed and dedicated to Dr Manners. It's also signed by Trevor Teare, the 3rd crew member who was Pat Leylands brother.

Where about in "Dead Men lie" do you have your "cameo". Curious to look up.

Regards
Trevor

Chapter seventeen p134 in the hardback. I'm the twin without the moustache. We had just set out from camp, and drove non-stop (except for meals and fuel stops), swapping drivers, to Sydney.

Pictures show them in our camp, and a rather distant picture of my Landrover involved.
