After Andrew - Two Kiwis Cross Australia - Bill Lennox

It took Andrew Lennox twenty-two weeks to ride a horse from Adelaide to Darwin. It was 1899 and the only track followed the overland telegraph. A year later he road back on a bicycle. Actually, he walked beside it quite a lot.A 'self-appointed missionary', Andrew struggled on for five years among crocodiles, snakes and buffalo hunters near South Alligator River, in Kakadu National Park.109 years later, Andrew's grandson rented a commodore and did the trip a bit faster. He went to most of the places Andrew described in his diary and tracked down the Aboriginal family that now occupies the site of Andrew'¬"s mission.After Andrew describes the Australian experiences of these two New Zealanders. It's witty, moving and even informative story - dashes of history and local colour, a Coopers or two and Andrew' s sober recollections of his bold and foolhardy exploits.
