Accompanied by Turkey, his little 'hunting' dog, Derek Pugh founded several outstation schools in the most remote parts of Arnhem Land and gained a rare insight into a traditional way of life which has been witnessed by only a few outsiders.<br /> <br />By turns reflective, tragic and hilarious, Turn Left at the Devil Tree is a memoir of a visiting teacher among the Indigenous people and wildlife of the Top End of Australia. It is also a history – revealing some little known and disturbing events that were sanctioned from the highest levels of government.<br /> <br />Life there was «frustrating at times, but always a challenge and Derek has recorded his experiences beautifully in this delightful book».
