Dash and Dingo: In Search of the Tasmanian Tiger by Catt Ford, Sean Kennedy
4.0
Overall, I liked this one.
I did find that it came more alive once Henry got to Australia - was more adventurous then.
Dingo is the archetypal swaggering Aussie - liked him.
Dash is the bookish English academic.
Jarrah gives an authentic feel to the dreamtime connections.
I liked them together though they did come over a quite contemporary at times, loosing that historical feel. Maybe it was because the setting has no time links.
When I was about half way through the book, I did spot a programme on the telly about the Tasmanian Tiger, so I was able to get a better feel for 'Tassie' and the landscapes.
Hodges issues came a bit out of left field, with no real build up to his madness.
