Been there once and shot a couple of kangaroos. Any recommendations of what hunting books in particular would be appreciated. What number is Nick Harvey's reloading handbook now? Thank you in advance.

Not a hunting story per se, but a damn good read about a part of Australia which was still wild, unsettled and empty up to about Christmas 1941. The years from the mid-'30s to 1941 are about Buffalo and Crocodile hunting in what is today the NW corner of Kakadu National Park. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1295497.Hell_West_and_Crooked
