Around the World in 22 Books
Tracks by Robyn
Davidson
First published in 1980.
This edition by Picador.
Davidson – your typical crazy aunt - arrives in the outback with
a dog and a little cash, and manages to find some camels to carry her
on her journey. This book is an account of her trek across 17,000 miles
of Australian desert – a tale of true adventure shot through with
a feel for the landscape and empathy for the Aboriginal people she meets
along the way.
