Quentin Chester gets around. From Kakadu and Uluru, to deep rainforest and remote outback gorges, he likes nothing better than loading his rucksack and heading bush. This collection of keenly observed stories explores the ragged, liberating charms of the outdoors - be it the rough and tumble of wild terrain, the eternal lure of the campfire or the chance to share nature's wondrous gifts with friends, family and even four-legged companions. Both revealing and irreverent these reflective tales celebrate the power of the bush to challenge, inspire and set us free.

Flames of Extinction

Scientists estimate more than three billion native animals were killed or displaced during Australia’s Black Summer bushfire season. Many species – the koala, regent honeyeater, glossy black-cockatoo, platypus – are inching towards extinction at the hands of mega-blazes and the changing climate behind them.
