“When Frank Clune goes roaming around the Australian continent, he’s sure to find plenty to interest hand amuse the thousands of readers who delight in his unconventional adventures… His roaming’s take him from Sydney to Perth by air.  He visits R.A.A.F. Stations along the Western Australian Coast, then the goldfields of Kalgoorlie and Marble Bar, the asbestos mines of the Hammersley Ranges, and the pearling-port of Broome.  Onwards he roams through the Kimberleys and the Northern Territory to Arnhem Land, visiting cattle stations, missionary outposts, and Military and Air Force camps under war-time conditions on Australia’s “frontier facing Asia.””
