Media reviews

"Traveller's tales are always interesting and this narrative by Janes Hanlon is no exception. James, a keen naturalist and artist (the book is enhanced by 48 of his own sketches plus 48 colour photographs), recounts his travels in search of Antipodean wildlife by first hitch-hiking around New Zealand before moving on to Australia and Indonesia. [...] Wine, women, and song feature significantly. But there are also many encounters with birds, cetaceans, seals, dingoes and the like. And the reader contemplating similar notions of going it alone 'down under' will gleam much useful information [...]"
- Bryan Bland, Birding World 24(12), January 2012
