About the book

"Forget Crocodile Dundee - here is a person who rode down enraged buffaloes with his horse, picking them off with one-handed rifle shots as the herd charged his mount." (Courier Mail)"[Tom Cole] records his remarkable life story in a part of Australia that for most of us might well be a foreign country... His memories and yarns preserve an era that we will never see in Australia again." (Canberra Times)At 17, Tom Cole left England, lured by posters that beckoned young empire builders to the colonies. He arrived to a harsh, unyielding and alien land. Australia.Twenty-five years later, Tom Cole was an outback legend - famed as an expert horseman and a skilled crocodile and buffalo hunter. This omnibus edition contains two of Tom's classic books. In Riding the Wildman Plains, we have his letters and diaries from 1923 to 1943, giving us a vivid picture of a life in the outback that's now gone forever. Crocodiles and Other Characters is a collection of some of Tom's rich store of tales of the outback and the people who formed its legends and shaped its spirit.
