  In April 1977, the author set off from Alice Springs to cross 1700 miles of desert and bush with four camels and a dog. Before she could leave Alice Springs, Robyn had to learn to ride, train and doctor camels which can weigh up to a ton. For 200 miles she was accompanied by Eddie, a respected elder of his Aboriginal tribe, who told her myths and stories of the Dream-time, showing her how everything in the wilderness fitted together in one integrated perception. This is the story of her travels. This book won the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award in 1980.
