Ben Carlin book: THE LAST GREAT AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURER
Came across a new book published this year, the local library is linked to libraries across the state .
THE LAST GREAT AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURER author Gordon Bass. 365 pages. With quite a few previously unpublished photos of Ben Carlin. I have read parts of the book. Quite an eye opener , the book details Ben Carlin's life with many previously unknown stories revealing his lifetime of adventures. The book is honest and it doesn't portray Carlin as an angel with a halo over his head . It is a warts and all portrayal. Ben was not the type of guy your would bring home to meet your parents ! At age 50 he married a 20 year old woman.
