Arnold Wienholt (1877-1940), army officer, adventurer, pastoralist, politician and author, was born at Goomburra station, near Allora, Queensland. This is his account of experiences in Ethiopia following the Italian invasion. He arrived in Addis Ababa in December 1935 as war correspondent for the Brisbane Courier Mail. Two months later he joined the Ethiopian Red Cross as a transport officer and left for the front. Impeded by Italian air attacks and hostile tribesmen, he skilfully assisted various philanthropic groups to retreat to the capital.
