'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.' (Publisher's blurb)
