Laden with trig poles, theodolites - and porridge - Len Beadell and his team built roads, laid out town sites and undertook an enormous survey programme in order to prepare a test launching area in one of the most isolated parts of the world.
The problems ranged from taking astrofixes in a cloudy sky and becoming surrounded by a sea of red mud, to patching a bald spot on a pet joey. All were solved by using those two most necessary ingredients of life in the bush - ingenuity and imagination.
in 'Still in the Bush' Len Beadell's descriptions of the countryside, the adventures the team experienced, and the Australian bush characters they encountered are by turns illuminating and hilarious. His high-spirited account of the work that had to be done 'before they called it Woomera' makes vivid and entertaining reading.

Good for Raina Telgemeir fans
Format: Paperback
My 10-14 year olds loved this book. It’s a great story. They also really liked the Raina Telgemeir books.

A decent read, it wrestles a bit with a couple of different topics of anxiety, racism, family dynamics, sports, and friendship in fits and bursts. I guess my main critique was it felt a bit shallow (no pun intended) with most issues resolved rather quickly and easily once characters put their minds to it. The Hollyhoke's team also seemed to be pretty toxic making it a wonder why someone would want to go there other than that it's wealthy.

I really enjoyed this book of short stories
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. It was the first time
I ever read anything by Simone De Beauvoir.
It is difficult but I think the title story
was my favorite, watching the character go
down hill so rapidly and in such detail
showing her growing obession was oddly
relatable, her self hatred towards her body
towards the end of the story
I would not try and presume to state what the
"moral" of the story was... but that is exactly what I am
going to do about now
check it....................
I think that the main Character should have
developed a concept of self outside her marriage
her marriage was her identity and when that fell
apart she had nothing...no sense of self
it was a compelling read a little uncomfortable
but I like being a littel uncomfortable when I read............

Middle-aged women in crisis
Format: Paperback
Excellent writing, but rather depressing (but perhaps accurate?).

Breath taking novel
Format: Kindle
I am not a fan of both fiction and non-fiction novels, my English is pretty bad as well. yet, here I am, and I'm planning on reading more in the future only because of this book. It's heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time. Not saying the book is beautiful or any like that, but you will find yourself in a painful place when you read this. A painful feeling which makes you feel like you got stabbed in the heart but all the air in your lung is stuck out, no voice screams out and you can’t do anything with it.
