"Whaling Around Australia - Australia's first industry preceded the colonialists and provided a most hazardous way of earning a living.  In Whaling Around Australia Max Colwell shows the true place of the whaleman among the folk heroes of the past and gives an insight into what was once a vital part of life in Australian waters.
Australia's Coast of Coral and Pearl - this book tells of mariners of the ancient world who first saw the north-west coast of Australia, the famous and colourful characters who came after them, and describes Peter Lancaster Brown's own experiences amongst other adventurers - including treasure seekers - who sought their fortune along Australia's wild coastline."
