THE FIRST ANTARCTIC FLIGHT, the first submarine navigation under polar ice, the first flight between America and Europe over the North Pole, the only Australian war photographer to be decorated in battle twice…this list of Hubert Wilkins’ extraordinary achievements is virtually endless, and yet today his name is almost unknown.
This superbly written account of Australia’s greatest explorer will change that. The Last Explorer is a fascinating read about a true hero. No one, before or since, has discovered more previously unknown land and sea.
