There are so many people who have perished in the Australian bush, from the early explorers to the present, who might have survived had they had the necessary survival skills.

Australian Bushcraft explains how to make use of natural materials for both survival and pleasure. It describes many of the skills used by primitive man, and adds to these skills necessary for survival today.

Australian Bushcraft is as relevant today as it was when it was first published, for those who, by choice or misadventure find themselves thrown on their resources for survival in Australia's vast wilderness areas.
