He criss-crossed the remote vastness of Australia in search of pre-historic rock art paying particular attention to the unique Bradshaw Paintings. In 1988 he was commissioned by the Australian Government to produce a book for the National Bicentenary that covered all of the known aboriginal works of art. 'Australia's Greatest Rock Art' the resulting book here offered is seen as the finest of its kind ever produced. Australia's importance as the richest rock art continent on Earth is little known even among its people. This work was formally recognised by The Royal Geographical Society with the awarding of The Thompson Medal in 1990.
