Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We're sitting around a wood stove as she tells these stories. There's a gale force wind outside, forest heaving. Another woman in the group ran the New York marathon a few years ago. 'I wouldn't do Peaks,' she says. 'It's beyond a marathon, more like an ultra-marathon. You'll be on the bike all day, maybe eleven hours.' She'd run the marathon in just over five.The three peaks are Tawonga Gap, Mt Hotham and Falls Creek in the Victorian high country. Organisers describe the Peaks Challenge as the most demanding one-day cycle event in Australia the ultimate personal challenge. In her late fifties, Saskia Beudel decided to take that challenge.Peaking is her genre-defying record of the hundred and eleven days spent preparing for Peaks and of the event itself. An accomplished writer of both fiction and nonfiction, Saskia weaves together her training notes and wide-ranging reflections, the history of the bicycle and her own personal stories of cycling. She tussles with the state of contemporary life and the questions that come after long hours in the saddle.What does it mean for a woman to enter this male-dominated event? As our bodies age, what new things can we ask of them? How do we take pleasure from our bodies and nature at a time when the world seems to be collapsing around us? How far can body and mind respond? Ultimately, what does it mean to 'peak' (or not)? One woman's genre-defying account of training for a gruelling alpine bicycle challenge.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title.Author: Saskia BeudelFormat: Paperback Number of Pages: At Banka Island, Indonesia, during the Second World War, Japanese soldiers ordered twenty-three Australian nurses to wade into the sea, where they were then machine-gunned down. There were thought to be no survivors. But the bullet went through Vivien Carmichael, and she lived. This is a true story. Saskia Beudel's astonishing debut novel fictionalises that day, and the events that followed. "Borrowed Eyes" tells the stories of Viv and her Dutch friend Martin, who meet up again several years after the war, when Viv is living back in rural Victoria. Their shared experiences while interned in a POW camp in Indonesia, and the effects of war and its aftermath, are to resonate through their lives. Secondhand, Paperback.

First Edition
1st ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white text-photos, maps, minor edgewear. 362 pp. After a period of loss and much change, Saskia Beudel began walking. Within 18 months she had walked the Snowy Mountains, the southwest coast of Tasmania, the MacDonnell Ranges west of Alice Springs, the Arnhem Land plateau in Kakadu, the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales, and in Ladakh in the Himalayas, and Central Australia. She also discovers the stories from Australia's desert heart, examines the entanglement of Aboriginal and European cultures, remembers POW camps in Indonesia during World War 2, and relives childhood epiphanies in a haunting collection of landscapes while tracing family secrets across the globe. The author captures the enigmas of displacement, belonging and the intricacies, often at odds with one another, of Aboriginal and settler understandings of the desert environment.
