In 1977, at the age of 27, author Robyn Davidson embarked on a perilous journey across 1700 miles of hostile Australian desert to the sea with only four camels and a dog for company.
Enduring sweltering heat, fending off poisonous snakes and lecherous men, chasing her camels when they get skittish and nursing them when they get injured, Davidson tells an extraordinary story driven by her love of Australia’s landscape and her empathy for its indigenous people.
