The whispering wind Syd Kyle Little

http://aidanbrooks.blogspot.com.au/2008/06/whispering-wind.html

Born at the end of WWI, Kyle-Little was the son of a Northern Territory policeman and was brought up as an Australian buffalo hunter.

After WWII, he became a Patrol Officer with the Native Affairs Department in Arnhem Land.

Rejecting the rifle, handcuffs, neck-irons and chains that came with the job and eventually discarding his European clothes as well,

Syd came to see what most white Australians of his time could not see - that the aboriginals he was sent to police were cultured, wise and principled people from whom he had more to learn than he had to teach.

Zero Hour, Clive Cussler et al. I haven't started it yet.

I recently finnished Fiona MacIntoshes Myrrens Gift trilogy. Surprisingly good.

I'm awaiting the arrival of Gallipoli by Les Crlyon. I have read it once. but it's the kind of book you need to have in your own library so you can keep going back to it.

Once i've got it,  I'm going to order his other WWI book - The Great War.  Tthey should keep me going through a long hot summer of sitting in the loungeroom with the curtains drawn, the aircon on and a nicely chilled  bottle of Chenin Blanc close at hand..

Confessions of a Faceless Man.

Great reviews by Piers Akerman too, even though I don't think he read it.

If you enjoyed that then give Pemulwuy - The Rainbow Warrior by E. Willmot a go. I havn't read it for years, but it's a great read.
