About my libraryMy current interests are in: maritime and polar exploration; Pacific history; military history, especially Australian or those with local history connections; Australian history and modern fiction; and Latin-American literature and poetry. Check out the tags above for a selection.

I am just starting to collect in Canadian history as well.

All items in my catalogue are actually held, mostly in Brisbane. I have a separate wishlist on BookMooch, and use that service a bit too.

Bookcase image: a gecko sculpture from the Sheil collection. We see more geckos than Blue-tongued Skinks in our garden, but both are locals.
