Authored by K. Langford-Smith, this volume captures the essence of life across the Australian outback, Arnhem Land, and the Pacific Islands. Drawing upon over two decades of travel and his experiences as a missionary, Langford-Smith presents an evocative series of vignettes that reveal the rugged reality, profound friendships, and diverse characters encountered in the bush.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the quiet contemplation of campfires to the challenges faced in remote territories, these stories offer a unique window into a vanishing era. Originally broadcast to thousands of listeners via Radio 2CH, Sydney, these selected tales—ranging from \"Chinaman's Luck\" to \"The Hermit\"—are presented here for their enduring appeal and their ability to resonate with the human spirit. This book serves as a poignant testament to the author’s dedication to recording the lives of those he met on his travels, providing a definitive look at the spirit of the Australian frontier as seen through the eyes of a dedicated observer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed (good, see images, dust jacket wear, dust jacket tear, and handwritten name)\u003cbr\u003eHardcover","brand":"Blue Pigeon Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46411793957014,"sku":"j8_67KGS844XJQH","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5189\/4422\/files\/7099_e38b20f1-aa90-4178-b3c9-2be6d2c4655d.jpg?v=1780452391","url":"https:\/\/bluepigeongoods.com\/products\/drakes-drum-and-other-stories-by-k-langford-smith","provider":"Blue Pigeon Goods Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
