Content Warning: Australian Indigenous people are warned that some individuals who are now deceased are named in this book.rnDerek Pugh has written an admirable book on two counts. It is a rattling good yarn and at the same time it is a fine teacher's handbook. From the moment he takes the momentous decision to accept a teaching position at Maningrida in remote Arnhem Land Australia Derek develops the best possible tactics in such situations. Don't throw your weight around too much; learn from the locals; don't have too big an opinion of yourself; be a good listener and as Monty Python would tell us Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"." - Foreword""
