The Wind in My Face is a delightful book set in and around the Fitzgerald River National Park on the South Coast of Western Australia, which is one of the country's most beautiful, rugged and unspoiled wilderness areas.
This attractive region with its contrasting beauty and harshness, provides the backdrop to Helen's journal. She tells of her first year living in the cooler, wetter and windier climate of Hopetoun, after spending many years in the wheatbelt town of Wongan Hills.
Helen explores the natural history and the flora and fauna with great enthusiasm, cleverly capturing the tone of the area for the rest of us to share.
You will feel inspired to get back to nature and experience these delights yourself.
The delicate and varied watercolour illustrations of flora, fauna and scenery are by the late Lyn Cosgrove. The paintings breathe life into this book, and make it a valuable edition to every library.
