'This is the story of a journalist's journey round and across Australia... It was in July 1930 that I first set out, a wandering "copy-boy" with swag and typewriter, to find what lay beyond the railway lines...'
Ernestine Hill's classic account of travelling in the Australian outback, in a pilgrimage of many years and 100,000 miles.

"With zest, humour and a warm sympathy, Hill brings life to a frontier..." - New York Herald Tribune
"A travel book that is a pleasure to recommend." - The Irish Times
