My Tropic Isle is a memoir written by E. J. Banfield, an Englishman who lived on Dunk Island, a small tropical island off the coast of Australia, for over 20 years. In this book, Banfield shares his experiences of living in isolation on the island, surrounded by nature and wildlife. He writes about the challenges he faced, including the harsh weather conditions, the lack of amenities, and the difficulty of sustaining himself on the island. Banfield also shares his observations of the island's flora and fauna, and his love for the natural beauty of the place. The book is a fascinating account of a man's life in a remote and beautiful setting, and a tribute to the power of nature and the human spirit.Both rolled over and over, struggling violently. For a minute or two there was such an intertwining and confusion of sinuous bodies that it was impossible to distinguish one from the other. The grip of the death adder was not to be lightly shaken off. When time was called, the truce lasted several minutes. Then the wrestling was continued in a miniature cyclone of sand and grass-chips. All the energy was on the part of the lizard. The death-adder kept on doing nothing in a dreadfully determined way. In fighting weight the combatants seemed to be fairly equally matched, but in length the lizard had the advantage by at least two inches.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
