My Tropic Isle is a book written by E. J. Banfield. The book is a memoir of the author's life on Dunk Island, a small tropical island off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The author lived on the island for over 20 years, and during that time he observed and recorded the wildlife, flora, and fauna of the island. He also wrote about his experiences living on the island and the challenges he faced. The book provides a detailed account of life on a tropical island, including the beauty and wonder of nature, as well as the difficulties and hardships that come with living in a remote location. My Tropic Isle is a fascinating and insightful read for anyone interested in nature, travel, or adventure.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.
