Drifting Down The Darling River Author Talk

18 July, 2018 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

In the 1970s, Tony Pritchard drifted over a thousand miles down the Darling River in western New South Wales in a ten-foot boat with no motor or oars, and the trip took around eighteen months.

He went fishing and birdwatching, stopped at towns, did a bit of station work, met some of Australia’s finest people and all the while looked for adventure and answers to life’s questions about where he belonged. Discover more about this extraordinary life when Tony talks about his travel memoir Drifting Down the Darling at Canowindra Library on Tuesday 7th August at 2.30pm.

Please book your place online through eventbrite.com or call Rossanne at the Library on 6344 1796.
