"There's a description of the hinterland outside Byron as being 'greener than Kermit in a blender' which it absolutely is, especially after rain; of summer fields being 'blonde and spiked'; and of Blundstone books 'that breathe dead cow into your face' when you open up the box. Good stuff." The Weekend Australian Review, Nov 2022.
