While talking about early Landrover books, consider any of the books published in the 1950s and 60s. These are about her extensive trips in an 80" Landrover, usually alone, and including driving round the world (not the watery bits, of course).Quote:

Just finished reading "Made In Korea "story of Chung Ju Yung & the rise of Hyundai. Very interesting read.:)
Just started "The Bush" by Don Watson. Tells some uncomfortable truths as far as I read it.
More info Ranga.....who is Don Watson?
Just finished Watson's Peir about the guy who ran the signals at Gallipoli and built the Pier they loaded men and supplies by Joshua Funder. Clever use of present day recollections and war front reports. Very good read

"The Amazing SAS", the inside story of Australia's special forces. by Ian McPhedran.
from Training through to Iraq, these men work behind the scenes and you usually only hear about them when one is KIA or awarded a Victoria Cross.
What fascinates me about these men is that each and every one of them can (and do) take over any position in their group, from Leader to Signals to Medic and are all equally competent, these are the unsung heroes and it is good to see some recognition, there is another by the same Author, can't think of the name at the moment, but just as good, Regards Frank
