PADDLING DOWN THE DARLING BOOK LAUNCH
07 Apr 2017
Thirty years ago, Tony Pritchard drifted down the Darling River, in western New South Wales. The book that resulted, Drifting down the Darling, was full of lame jokes, unreliable bird observations and a detailed quest for one of life’s meanings – a place to belong. It did not become a best-seller. Now we have Paddling down the Darling and except for the one word nothing has changed. The dodgy jokes are there, the unimportant bird comments are in and the search this time is for something much easier than before. Tony goes looking for God.
Come with him as he stumbles and mumbles his way from Menindee to Wentworth, three times, in a 15 ft. canoe. Marvel at the way he scatters the wildlife, annoys the locals, and how he slides from raw emotion to sublime idiocy, all the while unloading enough personal disclosures to embarrass most of the planet’s grandparents.
