Turn left at the devil tree

Description:

Content Warning: Australian Indigenous people are warned that some individuals who are now deceased are named in this book. "Derek Pugh has written an adminrable book on two counts. It is a rattling good yard and at the same time it is a fine teacher's handbook. From the moment he takes the momentous decision to accept a teaching position at Maningrida, in remote Arnyhem Land, Australia, Derek develops the best possible tactics in such situations. Don't throw your weight around too much; learn from the locals; don't have too big an opinion of yourself; be a good listener and, as Monty Python would tell us, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"." - Foreward.
