Lasseter’s Reef Book Pack

Description

Immerse yourself in the story of Lasseter’s Reef with these two books. Harold Bell Lasseter claimed to have found an immense reef of gold in Central Australia and he dissapeared while searching for the reef in 1930. Lasseter claims in his diary that he had rediscovered the reef and had pegged and claimed the area (but gave no date or no location); however, suffering from starvation and sandy blight he recorded his thoughts, “what good a reef worth millions? I would give it all for a loaf of bread”. The diary was found after his body was discovered, and further expeditions have failed to solve the mystery. This diary has been fully transcribed and contains all of Lasster’s own mud-maps. Along with Lasseter’s Last Ride, first published in 1931 and now in its 51st edition, this is the true story of Harold Bell Lasseter’s discovery of a massive gold reef in Central Australia, his venture into the interior to find it again using camel, trucks and aeroplane; and his disappearance, lost among Aboriginal tribes in the Central Desert.
