Hell West and Crooked is Tom Cole’s vivid autobiography of life as a Northern Territory stockman, buffalo shooter and bush pilot, a life so colourful it reads like outback folklore. In plain, laconic prose Cole recounts horseback musters, treacherous rivers and wartime flying that shaped modern Australia.
This 2000 Angus & Robertson paperback carries 356 pages packed with photographs, line drawings and fold-out maps that chart every dusty mile of the Top End. The illustrated extras make remote tracks and campsites easy to follow, turning the book into both ripping yarn and ready reference.
The copy is in very good, smoke-free condition—clean, tight and ready to shelve. No inscriptions, ex-library marks or other distractions; just a straight, well-kept edition for collectors of Australian history or anyone hungry for a true bush adventure.
