On the Deep
Oh, it’s a love story!
From Ian Maley, a long-standing conservationist, outdoor adventurer and businessman, comes a lyrical, wholehearted account of the importance of the Deep River in his life. As he canoes from below Fernhook Falls to Nornalup Inlet, Ian revels in its changing character. Looking after the Deep and other rivers in the beautiful karri country of the far southwestern corner of Australia is deeply significant to him.
