Non-Fiction 334 pages
Polygon - December 6, 2006
US / ANZ title: THE LAST EXPLORER. The extraordinary life of Sir Hubert Wilkins, from childhood on a drought-stricken farm in remote outback Australia to photographer, spy, war hero, writer, scientist, adventurer, world-wide celebrity and eventually mystic. His achievements are remarkable: he was first to fly across the North Pole; the first to fly in the Antarctic; the first to survey the deep interior of Australia. Centred around the 1913 voyage to the North Pole in a rusting World War I submarine, this is the long-overdue biography of an intriguing character, a self-effacing, courageous man.
