I have a large stack of paper with that story that I printed out. Excellent read for anyone with deserted island escapist fantasies. Also excellent because of the depth of his preparations and how he applies science and logic to his situation.

Can't recommend it enough.

There's a fantastic book 'Outsiders' by Gerard Hindmarsh, that overviews the story of Tom Neale and many other fringe New Zealanders such as Robert Long, Maori Bill, Snow Mayer, and Keiko Agatsuma.

Hindmarsh himself spent some of his youth in the hippie homestead/commune at Golden Bay, and that perspective really helps illuminate how these people chose to live.
