At 18, Chaffey left the US for Australia seeking work and adventure. He and a fellow named Jeff wrangled funding from Australian Geographic magazine to explore the remote Prince Regent River, which had even not been attempted before. He recounts the journey, near the end of which the boys, out of food and weakened, were stalked by a crocodile. A battery of fine photographs is included. (Annotation ©2009 Book News Inc.
