Hardcover. 1st. For a 'been there-done that' story few could better the variety of experiences of Brett Hilder, especially at sea and in the air. As a youngster in 1928 he went to sea with the Australian shipping line Burns Philip which traded mainly in Pacific and South East Asian waters. He also joined the Royal Australian Navy's reserve. He gained his second mates papers at the height of the Depression but by a stroke of luck obtained a third mate's post on one of the BP ships, trading mostly in the South Pacific, 1936 he went to the RAN for nine months to qualify as a Leiutenant in the sea-going reserve, In the late 30s he gained his master's certificate and rejoined BP and a short tile later was closely involved in evacuating people from the enormous Rabaul eruption. Next he passed his Extra Master's certificate and gained his first commant, a trial run on a large deep sea trawler to NZ and back. He next commanded one of BP's ships, based in Rabaul. He was there when WWII began so it was back to the RAN, but only briefly as he became an instructor on navigation and naval co-operation with the Royal Australian Air Force --- the navy was not pleased. He learned to fly and applied to go on operations with the RAAF's Catalina units. This upset the RAAF who would rather he continued with navigation training. When he went operational he had made the rank of Wing Commander and on Catalina night-flying operations was mining Japanese-held harbours. War ended and it was back to BP as a chief officer. In Singapore he found "pilfering, looting, graft and blackmarketing were rampant." Much of his subsequent service was in the South Pacific where he continued to have a life far from routine --- a few strandings, and near misses, salvage work, interesting encounters on islands fought over by the Japanes and Allies and explorations ashore. His story is an engrossing read, not dimmed by the passage of time. 232 pages including index, author;s b/w drawings throughout, e/paper maps. also by the author.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Murdoch Books, 2008. Hardcover, 1st edition. Book Condition: New. 326 pages. - Another Time Past Created is a sumptuous distillation of the visual and written notebooks kept during a lifetime of travel by Australian photographer Brett Hilder. This unique and beautiful book is at once a poetic journal, a philosophical travelogue, an evocative photographic collection and a window into the mind of a creative and passionate artist. It is an evocation of a journey through lands of Spanish culture in the Mediterranean and Latin America, and to Eritrea in Africa, as well as a meditation on the ties that bind him to his homeland. Brett Hilder's words form the background to his astonishing photographs of people and landscapes. Brett Hilder is an Australian photographer, film maker and inveterate traveller whose work encompasses fashion, portraiture and landscape. In the 1960s and 70s, his distinctive fashion photography, portraying a sense of mystery and romance, appeared in magazines including Vogue and POL. In the mid-1970s, he lived and worked in London and Paris. On his return to Australia, Brett extended his work into theatre and film and he has produced a film of the life of Mexican/Italian photographer Tina Modotti. *This books exceeds 1kg in weight so will incur extra postage charges.…

Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. The brief report Torres sent to the king of Spain after his two small ships reached Manila in May 1607 is tantalizingly vague and ambiguous. The narrative of Don Diego de Prado, an aristocratic adventurer who sailed with Torres, is more detailed but still has frustrating gaps and allows for differences in interpretation. Both these documents were lost to the world for hundreds of years after the voyage. Since Prado's narrative was published in 1930, other clues have come to light from old maps thought to have been based on missing charts drawn by Prado, from documents previously overlooked, and from the discovery that two important lines had been omitted from the transcription of Torres' letter to the king.…
