This preowned, hardback book with 255 pages, still with its dustjacket was published in 1972 by John Farquharson, and was written by John Fairfax and Sylvia Cook.
When John Fairfax and Sylvia Cook were swept over the Great Barrier Reef and rowed into the shelter of Hayman Island off the Queensland Coast, they had achieved what to most people would have seemed impossible - having crossed the world's largest ocean with the strength of their own arms.
