'An Australian Buddhist mother takes her son adventuring to the deciduous forests of South Korea and, a decade later, to the Gondwana rainforests of Eastern Australia. They happen to be in Korea during the International Year of the Mountain (2002) and to be traversing the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests of Eastern Australia in the International Year of Biodiversity (2010). Lesley Synge's message is to slow down and walk the earth's wild mountains; it will make us happier and wiser.' (Publisher's blurb)
