Basedow's second book, "Knights of the Boomerang: Episodes From a Life Spent Among the Native Tribes of Australia", was published posthumously in 1935. Once again, Basedow pitched the book to a general readership, stating in his introduction that his aim was to "recount first-hand impressions and experiences, without attempting to surround them with technicalities and extraneous embellishments". Some of Basedow's photographs in this publication are captioned incorrectly as a result of errors made when people other than Basedow labelled the prints. "Knights of the Boomerang" was reprinted in 2004.
