A memoir by the celebrated Australian writer, naturalist, and bushwalking advocate Robert Henderson Croll, I Recall: Collections and Recollections presents a rich tapestry of personal memories, observations, and reflections drawn from a life deeply connected to the Australian landscape and its cultural community. Croll chronicles his experiences with warmth and gentle wit, touching on his relationships with prominent figures in Australian arts, literature, and exploration. The narrative carries a contemplative, conversational tone — much like the Old Song epigraph it opens with — drawing the reader into an intimate dialogue with one of Australia's most quietly influential twentieth-century personalities. A treasured record of colonial and early Federation-era Australian life, this volume stands as a significant contribution to the nation's biographical and cultural literature.
