MINZY Crochet and Knitting She Works Willingly with Her Hands Poster
The incredible story of a father and son who survived crocs and trigger-happy farmers during 16,000km trek around Australia to save kangaroos – and the sobering reason their trip came to an end
- David and Mark Howison walked around Australia in 1973/74 to raise awareness about the plight of kangaroos
- The father and son realised during their 16,000km trek that kangaroos were abundant and did not need help
- Along the way they encountered aggressive wildlife – and humans – as well as road trains and dangerous roads
- Mark Howison has now written about the pair’s extraordinary adventure in a new book called 13 Pairs of Boots

Mark Howison was a week shy of his 17th birthday when he set out with his father, David, in December 1973 on a crusade to protect kangaroos by walking around Australia.
The pair left Sydney to the sound of pipes and drums from a Scottish Highland band, pulling a cart they had built themselves and with only their four-year-old German shepherd, Wendy, for company.
Father and son would eventually cover 16,000km on foot as they lapped the continent clockwise in a year-long odyssey that sometimes stretched their close bond to the limit.
Along the way the Howisons were shot at by angry farmers who didn’t share their love of the animals they were trying to save. They were bitten by spiders, stung by venomous fish, and escaped a crocodile. They were surrounded by snakes, followed by feral pigs, and stalked by water buffalo.
