I was very please to attend the launch of a new book by Andy Macqueen called “Wayfaring in Wollemi”. The book was launched at Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens on 22 October. It tells the stories of 28 people – explorers, surveyors, cattlemen, bushwalkers, conservationists, travellers and other people that have had a deep connection with the greater Wollemi Wilderness.
It is a 352 page hard cover book that has been meticulously researched by author Andy Macqueen. Not only has the historical research been very thorough but also the author, being a very well known bushwalker, has linked the tales of the wayfarers with his own journeys into the Wollemi. So far I am only half way through this excellent book. I will add a full review at a later date.
Copies can be obtained through the Colong Foundation online shop ($40 including postage) or from bookshops in the Blue Mountains.
