Tom Cole has hunted crocodiles and buffalo, been a horse breaker, brumby runner and drover, owned and managed cattle stations and a coffee plantations. He completely outclasses Crocodile Dundee. The Last Paradise is the story of his life in New Guinea, where he operated as the first professional crocodile shooter in the country - risking life and limb hunting from frail canoes in wild and sometimes unexplored country, working with everyone from cannibals to missionaries to government officials, and larger-than-life characters still adrift around the Pacific after the war. He raised a family and established a coffee plantation in the midst of it all - he has led a life like none other. His previous bestseller, Hell West and Crooked, covered his years in the Northern Territory before the war, and established Tom Cole as a natural storyteller. --- from book's back cover
