This was terrific. I met Cook's son when I was living in Perth and he talked a lot about his infamous father. It was a very sad story and the events changed the nature of Perth society for ever. An excellent read with great characterisation.

It was interesting to experience growing up in the 50s and 60s - and i'm glad i didn't grow up in the "good old days". very interesting to learn some history of perth and western australia. A good book to take on holidays. I enjoyed this memoir more than i enjoyed robert drewe's novel, the bodysurfers.

Really good book. It was especially interesting knowing some of the locations. The characters are interesting and likeable.
