Transport & Engineering Biography & Memoir Travel & Exploration
Saluting the Amaryllis is Clive Tadgell’s 2016 autobiographical voyage through Australia’s coastal waterways, a transport memoir rich with salt-spray, humour and illustrated snapshots of life aboard his beloved ketch. The hardcover blends boating, travel writing and cultural reflection, making it a treat for fans of Australian maritime biography.
Wallington House Melbourne produced this handsome, fully-illustrated edition aimed squarely at adult readers who relish true stories told with down-under candour. Its 224 pages remain crisp and unmarked, free of dog-ears and smoke odour, presenting very well on a collector’s shelf.
A previous owner has gift-inscribed the front endpaper, adding personal charm without affecting readability. The book is not author-signed or ex-library, keeping it an accessible, affordable copy for enthusiasts of Australian nautical memoirs and transportation history alike.
