Searching the Crocodile Coast

About the Book

The author began to hear from the readers of his book, Crocodile Coast Crash, asking him what happened to the bushmen and their mates, the crew of the Boeing and surprisingly, the American tycoon. Here is what happened. Some of the surviving passengers wandered off in the cyclonic storm to seek the towns or villages that they mistakenly believed must be near by. They promptly got lost, and wandered far along the empty coast. After all the other passengers were lifted out by helicopter, these strays had to be found and rescued. This rescue was undertaken by the bushmen, their women, and some friends, all who had contributed so much to saving the other survivors. The search and rescue involved the use of bush skills, interaction, unexpected romance for the searchers, life threatening dangers and personal achievements. The fate of the wanderers was mixed and the rewards for the rescuers after all were found contained some surprising results. Readers will be satisfied that all involved received their just rewards.
