From the back cover:
Jeff Johnson, self-confessed ‘bushie’ of
no fixed abode, decided almost on a whim to walk across Australia,
south to north, to raise funds for charity. Spurred on by the memory of
his deaf-blind niece, whose death was the catalyst for this
extraordinary undertaking, he battled hoons, the fear of an attack by
dingoes and the vastness of the interior to achieve his aim. Surviving
on what he could carry on his back, and without back-up, he walked 2500
kilometres in 151 days. This is the story of his walk, the outback
characters he met along the way and, of course, the untamed grandeur of
inland Australia.
The book is available at a "bookshop near you" including the ABC shops. It
is 260 pages with 25 photos, mostly colour. The walk took
me 5 months and the book has taken well over double that time. It would
not have happened at all except for the chance meeting with
Cyril
Ayris at
Karumba on the last day of the walk. Cyril has painstakenly drained me
of all the info for the book and written it into a very readable "yarn". There are
240 photos already on this web site.
I have appointed
Dennis Jones and Associates as the sole distributor to all retail book stores in Australia. They will also handle orders from overseas.

I will be able to sell individual copies, particularly to
family
and friends, and I will provide a copy of my photographic record of the
walk. There are 2,500 photos on a DVD that normally sells for $5, but
which I will include in the retail price ($32.95) for direct sales and
where I personally sign a copy of the book. Postage and handling may
be added. 50% of profits will go to the DeafBlind Association of NSW. Contact me
with this form or email me direct:
A copy of the book
will be provided to
any media organisation that will do a review of the book or conduct an
"on-air" interview with me to discuss the walk or the DeafBlind
Association.
Please
email
me via the
contact us page
if you have any questions about the walk or the book.
