What reading level is Thirty Years in Tropical Australia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gribble and an inspector of police who were to travel overland and meet us.
One day I went with the captain in the din^y up the North Mitchell. We reached a spot where a native track came down to the river and led from it on the farther bank. Drawn up on the shore were a dozen swimming logs. A native of this part never crosses a river without such a log. It is of light mangrove, about eight feet long and about seven inches in diameter, tapering to about three inches. The native swims with his b...reast on the thick end and the thin end projecting behind him. I frequently asked the natives why they would not swim without a log, and they said that it was on accoimt of the alligators, as the crocodiles are always called in Queensland; they declared that when the alligator saw them on the log he thought it was another alligator and left them alone. I am not prepared to say that their explanation was correct, but we saw a very big alligator lying on the bank about a hundred yards Digitized by Google 116 TROPICAL AUSTRALIA below the crossing, so that their precaution may have been justified.
