WALKABOUT
RUM JUNGLE, by Alan Moorehead; Hamish Hamilton, English price 12/6. HIS is about Central Australia and the Barrier Reef. Mr. Moorehead has an enthusiasm and feeling for his subject which make an outstanding travel book, The earlier pages in which he is suc-
cessful in giving a short picture of a typical Australian life and upbringing will remind many readers that the Australian way of life is for better or worse closely akin to that of New Zealand. But in Australia there are pythons, bushfires, kangaroos, uranium mines, koalas, buffalo, fantastic fish and beautiful coral islands, All these are dealt with, and more, in a manner which has attracted other reviewers and has not failed to
captivate this one.
