As climate change irrevocably impacts our lives, as does the increasing rate of species extinction, humanity is at a critical juncture in its evolution. Will we change our ways to live in harmony with the planet, and ourselves, or will we continue along the current destructive path to the detriment of all living things? Based on our increasing economic, technological, and environmental problems today, do we need to embrace a different life philosophy if we are to evolve as a species - one that is based on a love for Nature, and all life, not just ourselves? Walkabout to Wisdom, a multi-award winning adventure story from the Australian Outback, is an insightful and articulate guide to a philosophy whose essence is the importance of a stronger connection with the natural world. With reviews from leading Australian authors and environmentalists, and a foreword from one of Australia's most respected songwriters, Lachlan's inspiring and evocative story reminds us, and encourages us, to remember how an intimate connection with Nature is at the very core of our being. And that a healthy connection with the natural world is critical to the evolution of our species and society - today, tomorrow, and in the future.

The Spirit of Love is a collection of short writings, poems and phrases written by a man, who took himself into some of the darkest and most destructive depths that one can go with drug and alcohol addictions back in his early twenty's. The collection of writings contained within The Spirit of Love is a reflection of one man's healing journey within himself and the deep questioning that has arisen from within it. With the love, support and guidance of his dear friend Edwina, in helping to bring these writings from the handwritten scribbles on paper to how they are presented today, The Spirit of Love is a reminder that no matter how dark, desperate, alone, helpless or trapped one believes they may be, the sheer beauty of the perfection of life in its totality is silently and patiently living within us all, and its love is so powerful that it can heal anything that has come to pass.
