Here is Arthur Upfield''s own story, the author of those remarkable murder mysteries set in odd corners of Australia and featuring the Aboriginal sleuth named ''Bony''. A detailed dossier compiled with the cheerful candour of the subject himself. An Englishman by birth, Arthur Upfield tried his luck in Australia. After a short spell as a waiter in Adelaide, Upfield felt drawn towards the Interior where he became a boundary-rider, offside-driver, cattle-drover, opal-gouger, rabbit-trapper, vermin fence patroller and manager of a camel station, drifting through the strange terrains and unusual company which were later to become the subject of his novels. He also tells how he unwittingly provided a real outback murderer with a ''fool-proof'' method of disposing of a body, and who was the original on whom the character of ''Bony'' was based.
