I read this book in the '90s and loved it. One memory was that aborigines didn't bathe as much as Westerners because they didn't eat meat.
Halfway through listening to the audiobook, I succumbed to bad habit of mine: Googling the author and book. Turns out the book isn't true in the slightest bit. It's all fake! The author didn't go on a walkabout with a dying aboriginal tribe. Learning that then made it a tough listen. I went days without listening to it. Eventually finished it, sped up at 1.5. Fortunately, it's only six hours. I give it 2 stars out of 5.
Oh well, upward and onward. I'm going to stay in Australia with my audiobook-listening and start Peter Garrett's (of Midnight Oil fame) memoir.
