Tim Flannery completes his trilogy with Among the Islands: Adventures in the Pacific
|
0-/-0/0000 |
Twenty-five years ago, a young curator of mammals from the Australian Museum in Sydney set out to research the fauna of the Pacific Islands.
Starting with a survey of one of the most inaccessible islands in Melanesia- Woodlark, Tim Flannery found himself climbing extinct volcanoes, ghost-whispering, snake wrestling, Quadoi hunting and wading through filthy caves inhabited by a thousand flying foxes, all in the name of science.
With accounts of discovering, naming and sometimes eating new mammal species; being thwarted or aided by local customs; and historic scientific expeditions, Tim Flannery takes us on an enthralling journey through some of the most diverse and spectacular environments on earth.
Among the Islands is the third book in a loose trilogy of Tim Flannery's adventures, following on from Throwim Way Leg and Country.
Tim is an engaging speaker who talks passionately about how man is changing the climate and what it means for life on earth. For more information about his presentation topics, please visit Tim's profile.

Geoff Huegill: Be Your Best- Hunt For Gold is a powerful one hour documentary which tells the story of Geoff Huegill and one of the greatest comebacks in Australian sporting history. An up close and personal self portrait of a man against all the odds and finally back on the starting blocks after retreating into a self imposed exile for six years, Geoff's life is an incredible story of courage, determination and everything that stands for being an Australian.
The Geoff "Skippy" Huegill story is a rare and remarkable journey from Australian hero to zero after self-destructing and hitting rock bottom. An inspiring story of finding that inner strength, to return to the peak of his powers in the competitive, elite level of international swimming and in the process regaining his hero status and finding his way back into the hearts of Australians.

Sebastian Terry challenges readers to think about their bucket list in his book 100 Things
|
0-/-0/0000 |
Everyone has at least one thing they want to do before they die. Some even have a list. But how many goals and dreams on this list are actually achieved?
At the ripe-old age of 26, Sebastian Terry realised that like most people, he had not achieved anything on his long-forgotten list. In the midst of an overseas trip, Sebastian decides to put pen to paper and re-create a list of 100 Things with a goal to tick off everything. Along the way, he strives to raise $100,000 for Camp Quality, a great organisation creating happiness for children and families affected by cancer.
The book details a crazy, no holds barred adventure that sees Sebastian travel to the ends of the earth on a quest to prove that anything is possible, including true fulfilment.
100 Things is a humorous, action packed adventure dedicated to anyone who's ever worried about their age, or dreamt about living every day like it was their last.
