About the author

E. J. (Edmund James) Banfield

1852–1923

Best known as the “Beachcomber” of Dunk Island, this journalist-turned-naturalist wrote warmly about life in the tropical north of Queensland. His books helped shape the popular image of the Great Barrier Reef islands as places of beauty, solitude, and close attention to nature.
