'In 1967 Col Bailey sighted a Tasmanian tiger along the shores of the Coorong, in South Australia. Then, in 1993, a chance encounter with an elderly bushman unlocked a wealth of previously untold information that led Col into the vast and untrodden wilderness of Tasmania’s Weld Valley. Now the truth of this significant discovery can be revealed about an animal that the experts claim is long extinct and couldn’t possibly still exist. This is a thrilling Australian story.'

Dedication:
I wish to dedicate this book to my friend and mentor, the late Eric Guiler, whose determination and fortitude, despite his unsuccessful efforts to locate the thylacine, were an inspiration to me right from the beginning. That he did not succeed is beside the point, for to be truly believed the animal was still out there absolutely and until the very end. And he was right!
And to my dear wife of 54 years, Lexia, whose love and patience has sustained me overt eh may years of my quest, and to our four children, Jennifer, Jillian, Grace and Steven, for their encouragement and genuine interest in my passion down through the years. I lovingly thank you all.
