Od Redakcji. O wydaniu nowej książki pt "Kosciuszko" dowiedzielismy się przypadkiem w czasie festiwalu TUMBAFEST w Tumbarumbie. Była ona reklamowana na stoisku "Kosciuszko Wines". Pełny tytuł brzmi: Kosciuszko. Two men lost in the wilderness who captured the imagination of a nation, jej autorem jest Nick Brodie, a książka wydana była dokładnie rok temu. Serdecznie polecamy lekturę tej ksiązki, a także jej krótki opis, jak też długi wywiad Broadiego dla Radia ABC.
Nick Brodie was researching a history of the Australian alps when he came across a mysterious true story.
In 1928, two men set off for a cross-country skiing adventure to on Mount Kosciuszko, which had become Australia’s newly popular winter playground.
Evan Hayes was a country boy and son of a unionist. Laurie Seaman was a well-travelled American, newly married to an Australian, and the two had become friends.
Both were members of the Millions Club, an ambitious push to reach one million people in Sydney, underscoring Australia’s place in a changing world.On the day they embarked on their snowy adventure, neither knew just how unpredictable the mountain could be.
The story of how they disappeared on Australia's highest mountain is set at a crucial point in time, between two world wars, when everything was changing.
