This book tells the life of this intrepid, determined and oft-times irreverent pioneering Australian renowned as one of our nation's greatest geologists. By the age of 30 Reg had discovered the oldest fossils in the world and some of its deepest under-sea canyons. By the time he was 50, Reg had driven the first vehicle across the Simpson Desert and crossed the continent from north, south, east and west. He has also launched Arkaroola Wildlife Sanctuary.
