Tracks

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

Robyn Davidson's opens the memoir of her perilous journey across 1,700 miles of hostile Australian desert to the sea with only four camels and a dog for company with the following words: “I experienced that sinking feeling you get when you know you have conned yourself into doing something difficult and there's no going back."

Enduring sweltering heat, fending off poisonous snakes and lecherous men, chasing her camels when they get skittish and nursing them when they are injured, Davidson emerges as an extraordinarily courageous heroine driven by a love of Australia's landscape, an empathy for its indigenous people, and a willingness to cast away the trappings of her former identity. Tracks is the compelling, candid story of her odyssey of discovery and transformation.

This book is written "warts and all". It is an insight into a young woman's dream of training and then walking camels across Australia's harshest land and how she accomplished it. Her understanding of the local aborigines and their tribal ways is written with compassion and understanding and it has changed my view of aborigines who have not been portrayed in the best light over many years. She doesn't pull punches and it is an honest portrayal of what she endured and how she coped (or not). Difficult to put down. Would thoroughly recommend this book.
