A crash landing at a remote island airstrip…a scary encounter with an octopus…green ants that defend their tree by attacking anyone who touches it…a mysterious lava-tube cave with hikers’ flashlights floating like fireflies down into its blackness…fruit bats noisily lobbing mangos onto your cabin’s tin roof…the beauties – and dangers – of the crocodile-infested Kakadu National Park…a rugby match in Northern Territory (and why Aussie girls never root for their teams)…
In this colorful and remarkable book, written by a colorful and remarkable woman pilot, you’ll find the most enjoyable way to discover Australia – by flying a light airplane to its places of greatest interest while watching the exotic landscape unroll beneath you: vistas of giant paisley patterned earth, caused by underlying salt strata; stunning views of red landscapes, uplifted and contorted during the earth’s primordial boil; the enormously long white beaches of Western Australia, lonesome and edged by brilliant aquas; and the Indian Ocean to the south, marked by hundreds of miles of cliffs (whales breed there…. You could get lucky).
You don’t have to be a pilot to enjoy this book. The author also wrote it for nonflyers, in nontechnical terms, to let you see amazing things that pilots experience from their very special perspective.
