A book that I don't think has been mentioned yet is "The DreamTime Voyage -
Around Australia Odyssey" by Paul Caffyn. Published by Kayak Dundee Press in
1994 and 1996, ISBN 0-473-02349-0. The book is 186 pages long. It contains
some marvellous photographs of the Australian coast and a description of
Paul's year long voyage including: the odd historical anecdote, descriptions
of sites around the coast and some interesting comments on paddling. Dream
time is an Australian Aboriginal Term referring to their early history and
legends. My Mother in law and I both loved it and she doesn't paddle!
