    G’day Phil!
    Excellent composition and processing, as ever. This must be the same Ion Idriess who was an author we read at school! He was very knowledgeable and graphic in his descriptions of Australian aboriginal tribal culture and customs. I seem to recall “Nemarluk of the Wild” as one of his books, read more than 50 years ago!
