Articles liés à Solitude and Solecisms: A Willis Island Notebook
Synopsis
Tiny and remote, Willis Island is the only inhabited island in Australia's Coral Sea Territory. For ninety years it has maintained a weather station, and for six months in the 1920s Frank Exon, a 27-year-old engineer for Amalgamated Wireless, was stationed on the island with two companions. This is his Journal and Sketchbook - an engaging tale penned and illustrated by a natural writer and an astute observer of the natural world and of human nature, a testament to the resilience and good humour of a generation that had known the Great War.
