BANFIELD SERIES

"One of the great and enduring fantasies is the idea of the noble savage living in the fruitful bosom of Mother Nature - preferably on a South Sea Island.

In 1897 Ted Banfield and his wife, Bertha 'escaped to live' on Dunk Island. He became an international celebrity when his first book, 'Confessions Of A Beachcomber' was published in 1908.

Today he is considered by some to be the most literary man of his kind Australia has ever produced."
