Messing about in Earnest
DESCRIPTION
Author
Burningham, Nick
Description
Part travel writing, part social history and part personal reflection, Messing About In Earnest is a real gem. Using Governor Stirling's historic 1827 voyage up the Swan and Canning Rivers as his touchstone, Nick Burningham takes us on a fascinating trip up the river and back in time in a small boat called Earnest.
