The extraordinary story of a classic Australian Pioneer — told by Australia's 'Boswell of the Bush', Ion L. Idriess.
Almost single-handedly John Flynn of the Australian Inland Mission brought to the outback the Flying Doctor Service and the Bush Hospitals. His magnificent vision, formed as he travelled on the back of a camel across the vast space of Australia's outback, took a lifetime of courageous commitment to bring to reality.
'It is impossible to read this book and remain untouched by the greatness of John Flynn's inspiration.' — Morning Post, London
