About this Item

"An accident - brought about by youthful carelessness and related in a graphic first chapter - left Dave Burchell with, as he so pithily expresses it, One Foot in the Grave. However membership of the one-legged fraternity has not hampered Burchell's activities in any way. WIth deft topouches of Australian humour he outlines his fortunes as LAC Burchell, RAAF; life in South Australia's outback as mustering-camp cook, station-hand and stud master to 'Burchell's brothel'; exhibitions with the SA Swimming Association Diving Troupe; and busy days as a 'back of beyond' oil company representative." --- Signed and Dated by Author on Title Page. --- Original black papered boards, lettered white on spine (21.8 cm height). Previous owner stamp in front free endpaper. Illustrated dustwrapper, very minimal wear to edges. Now protected. Pp. 136 including List of Illustrations (31). Seller Inventory # 12869
