📕 James Smith was born the youngest of five children in London’s East End (Bow) in the later stages of WW2. He spent time in London’s Woodvale Orphanage and Beecholm Children’s Home in Surrey.Migrating to Australia in 1960 James spent four years in Sydney (becoming involved with gangsters) and four years in the extreme outback, including (with Aboriginal and Government permission) two years in Arnhem Land, an Aboriginal reserve of 97,000 square kilometres east of Darwin, where he became the first known white man to travel through Deaf Adder Gorge.Returning to England in 1968 James soon realised that the desperate search for adventure that had dominated his life in years he found himself wandering aimlessly throughout Europe and the rest of the world . . . until he met a girl in Denmark.A very interesting true story.“This is one of the best books I have ever read; I read the whole book in less than three days. I could not put it down.” Noel Dalton (Father of Brisbane Courier Mail journalist Trent Dalton)James tells a fast moving and interesting story of family life and adventure, It’s easy reading, moving and extremely entertaining.
