Provisional List Of The Plants Of The Bahama Islands (1889)

John Gardiner has enjoyed a lifetime of travel and adventure. He has worked as a journalist and media adviser for more than 40 years, now dabbling as an author and screen writer. His book A Hitchhiker's Triptych sets out the genesis of his wandering life. It explores in detail six months of hitchhiking through England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland during the early years of the 1970s. That journey set the scene for more than five decades of adventure across the globe. John's life has been shaped by the journey he so brilliantly, and simply, outlines in his first major work, A Hitchhiker's Triptych. It is a book that will appeal to all ages. To everyone with a yearning for adventure, an open mind, and a desire to learn. John, as well as being a writer, has been a committed surfer all his life. He currently lives in the pretty seaside village of Pottsville, in northern New South Wales, in Australia. He tells us he will never lose his love of the ocean. "Life is special. I am surrounded by love. Yet that insistent urge to explore is strong within. All travellers will know what I'm talking about. Even now, the call of the road remains ever so strong."
