Book excerpt: "No better, more human, more finely descriptive, or more enticing books have ever been written by an Australian of Australia..." -- The Sydney Mail*******"This is a wholly exceptional book . . . which has been lived, and there are not over many books like that." -- The Daily Chronicle*****America had Henry David Thoreau, James Audubon, John Burroughs, and John Muir. Australia had E.J. Banfield, the beloved Beachcomber of Dunk Island. Join Banfield as he describes his escape from hectic civilization to the simpler pleasures of a tropical paradise. A physical wreck, Banfield literally crawled onto the beach in Brammo Bay from the ship's launch that brought him to the island where he would spend the remainder of his life and would find renewed health and interest in life.A disciple of Thoreau, Banfield became a champion of species preservation, and using his pen as his sword, he eventually persuaded the Australian government to set aside Dunk Island as a protected area for wild birds of all species.During his life on the island, Banfield became a keen observer of the nature around him, and while he argues his amateur approach to the study of nature, his catalog of the island's life provides an intriguing and comprehensive look at what it means to live free on a tropical island.For modern readers, Banfield's observations remind us of an intriguing, complex, interesting, and intensely enjoyable world beyond the television screen and computer monitor.

Download or read book The Beachcomber s Wife 16pt Large Print Edition written by Adrian Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It should have been a paradise, but paradise is what you lose, it is what you might have had. An elderly woman who has lived for many years on a tropical island off the Queensland coast with her beachcomber husband waits for help from the mainland. For three harrowing days, alone. He has died, his body lies in their cabin just up from the beach, and while she awaits help she reviews her reclusive life there, of nearly 25 years with him. She is a woman with a glint in her mind's eye. The Beachcomber's Wife draws upon the published writings of E.J. Banfield, who lived an isolated life with his wife Bertha on Dunk Island through the first decades of the twentieth century. He made very little reference to her in his work (Confessions of a Beachcomber and others). This account imagines what it might have been like from her point of view. It follows Banfield's practice, of fact cemented with fiction.
