Flynn of the Inland

Flynn of the Inland, first published in 1932 by Ion L. Idriess, serves as a biographical account of the Reverend John Flynn, the founder of the Australian Inland Mission and the pioneer behind the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Idriess, a prolific chronicler of the Australian outback, wrote the narrative to document the immense challenges of providing medical and spiritual care to remote pastoral communities, cementing Flynn's status as a national icon.

The 1998 Bolinda Press edition maintains the legacy of the original work for modern readers, preserving Idriess's descriptive and evocative style. As a literary figure, Idriess was known for his dedication to capturing the rugged character of the Australian landscape and its people. This specific printing continues to be valued for its historical insight into the early twentieth-century efforts to bridge the gap between isolated settlers and essential life-saving services.
