Reg Sprigg’s A Geologist Strikes Out 1954-1994 Recollections tracks four decades of bush-plane hops, mineral hunts and outback mapping that shaped modern Australian geology. Told with dry wit, the memoir races from the Flinders Ranges to remote deserts and offshore rigs, showing how field boots and helicopters rewrote the continent’s rock record.

First edition hardcover, 1993, illustrated with survey maps and expedition photos. The 359-page volume is clean, tight and from a smoke-free home—an excellent shelf addition for collectors of Australiana, earth-science narratives or vintage travel memoirs.

Ideal for adults and curious teens who enjoy true adventure, aviation history or South Australian landscapes. Searchers after signed copies or personalised inscriptions will note this copy is neither signed nor inscribed, but its scarcity as a first printing makes it a practical cornerstone for any geology or exploration library.
