This informative and fascinating book is about two Aussie sailors exploration of Australia. Jack and Jude Binder sailed around Australia in Banyandah, their home-made 12m yacht, and took time out along the way to smell the roses. The 9000 nautical mile voyage took them to crocodile infested waters, coral atolls, ancient aboriginal sites and through Hell’s Gates itself. Together they fished, photographed, and above all recorded the bounties of nature along the way.
As they say in their first chapter, the story really starts many years before.Having met while back-packing around Europe, they married in England before setting off in a VW van to travel through Africa. On arrival in Australia in 1969 they set about building Banyandah and by the time of the launch three years later the family had grown to include two sons under the age of four with whom they began a fifteen year odyssey exploring the world by sea.
