Camping By A Billabong is Robert French’s warmly illustrated 1993 memoir of growing up gay in rural Australia, told through the nostalgic lens of camping trips beside outback billabongs. Blackwattle Press released this vintage paperback as both local history and an intimate biography, making it a quiet cornerstone of Australian queer non-fiction.

The book is in very good condition: pages are crisp, binding tight, and no dog-ears or markings appear beyond a discreetly whited-out personal stamp on the cover page. It comes from a smoke-free home and retains the original 1993 illustrated format prized by collectors of Australiana and LGBTQI+ literature.

Because this copy has been personalised it carries extra provenance, yet remains clean enough to read or gift. Its blend of camping narrative, Australian history and gay memoir will resonate with young adult and adult readers curious about life beyond the cities in decades past.
