“Book Descriptions: Based on her book, 'MAILMAN OF THE BIRDSVILLE TRACK', Kristin Weidenbach has written a lively, engaging version for younger readers, capturing the humour, excitement and ingenuity of a classic slice of Australia's fast-vanishing history. Timothy Ide is a South Australian illustrator with a genuine feel for the beauty and hardship of life in the Australian outback. Big Tom Kruse was a real Australian hero. He's pile his truck high with bags of mail, and furniture, and passengers, and would drive back and forth, across the outback, come rain or shine. For primary school age.” DRIVE
