"Headhunters of the Coral Sea" was written after Idriess had heard in his wanderings in the Coral Sea of the story of two white boys who lived among the islanders many years ago. The story of the capture of the two Lamars (reincarnated natives), as the white boys were called, is one that has been handed down in legend among the Torres Strait islanders. After Idriess, years later, learned in civilised society the other part of the story - that the two boys, Jack Ireland and Will D'Oyly, were survivors from the wreck of the Charles Eaton on the Barrier Reef in 1834 - he ferreted out the full history of the affair, and now sets it down in story form. It is a most entertaining yarn, the greater part of which comes from the Torres Strait islanders themselves. It deals with the many and varied adventures experienced by the boys before their eventual rescue. It tells how they were brought up with the native lads, learnt from them to work on the island, and to fight, and later how, when they had 'won their spurs,' they accompanied the men on the long fishing trips. It gives fascinating glimpses of the underwater world of the reefs which the lads investigated on their fishing trips. It is one of the best Australian adventure stories yet issued.

This true story came from the ship's log of the HMS Rattlesnake under the command of Captain Owen Stanley... who was searching for the Kennedy expedition... sailing the Coral Seas searching for men in the peninsula ranges, and Barbara Thompson was captive on Murralug; Billy Winn, an escaped convict from Norfolk Island, had, through a reign of terror and treachery, cowed the most fearful of all peoples - the Coral Sea headhunters. He had taken power on Badu as the feared demi-god Wongai. Hearing that a white woman was to be found on Murralug, he gathered the Badu headhunters to raid Murralug... However Barbara, after being held on Murralug for five years, succeeded in escaping from the Murralug people and Wongai, and incredibly, was rescued by Captain Owen Stanley and taken back to Sydney. - Beverley Eley, from her biography Ion Idriess.

Ion “Jack” Idriess (1889 – 1979) is recognised as one of Australia’s great storytellers, having published over 50 books including the Outback tales of Lasseter’s Last Ride, Flynn of the Inland, and The Cattle King alongside major histories of Broken Hill, Broome and Cooktown. This book is his last interview in 1975, prompted by the then-young Tim Bowden, for a possible ABC Radio program that did not eventuate due to Idriess's fading voice. Within this book Idriess talks of his early years in Broken Hill, he tells of his earliest writing for the Bulletin, on living and photographing Aboriginal tribes in the Kimberlys and Cape York; on the writing of his books like Madman’s Island and My Mate Dick; his life with the pearlers of Broome and Thursday Island; on the joys of prospecting, living in the Wild, and on Lasseter and his diary. Full of colourful characters and true stories, Ion Idriess allows us into his unbridled enthusiasm for Australian and Aboriginal history.
