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.

Review:
A strong, salty fresh book by an original and individual young woman ... This will rank among the best of the books of exploration and travel and, like them, is a record of self-discovery and self-proving (Doris Lessing)
An absorbing record of human endeavour and courage, a vivid picture of an extraordinary country by a perceptive and sensitive observer, and the story of an inner journey, of "shedding burdens" (Sydney Morning Herald)
It gets to the heart of landscape and solitude and becomes a venture to the interior of more than one dimension as its author approaches the hinterland of her own thorny psyche (Observer)
As eccentric, undisciplined, flashily brilliant and pig-headed as its author ... Ms Davidson is a born writer, her book deeply moving (Daily Telegraph)
Vivid and vivacious ... Davidson is as natural a writer as she is an adventurer (New Yorker)
