Full of wonderful outdoors writing, with a pile of fishing
and hunting anecdotes, cartoons, stories and editorials. Superbly funny and
thoughtful.
The book also includes some great stories from the author’s time in
Far North Queensland and New Guinea during the war years with the US army,
fishing for Barramundi and hunting. A great read and guaranteed to please
Mr. Finlay's attachment to the outdoors was revealed in all
of his writings, and especially so in his book, "Down the Creek,"
consisting of many stories of fishing and giving some examples of his expertise
as a caster.
He was the first man to buy a spinning outfit in the state,
"more years ago than I care to remember," he once said.
