“The Chauvels’ experience of Australia’s wild adventure is unique.  Some time ago they took their cameras and other equipment across thousands of miles of jungled mountains, purple valleys and desert sand.  They have now interwoven their experiences in the outback into this extraordinary account of a vast, lonely and primitive territory so little known to the outside world.”
