Critical reception
While covering a selection of possible Christmas book gifts for children in The Brisbane Telegraph in 1954, a reviewer noted: "Mr. Tindale is ethnologist at the South Australian museum, and Mr. Lindsay is the well-known authority on the Australian bushland. They have collaborated to produce an authentic and entertaining story of Australia some ten or twelve thousand years ago."[1]
