The Stringybark Fox - John Dickie  by Jack Drake, researched by Jim McJannett

John Dickie was a legend in his own time. Largely forgotten, John found three major goldfields in far north Queensland. He was also an exceptional bushman - he crossed Australia twice by horseback.

Fifty years plus of meticulous research.
