"1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and Engaging Account, July 9, 2006
Although large in size, and filled with breathtaking photographs, this book includes so much more than the regular "picture book". Robyn's thoughtful words make you feel as if you are traveling right along with her and her famous camels. The story is engaging and heart-wrenching; and the reader runs through the same emotions that Robyn feels at each leg of the journey, from the tragedy of loss to the jubilation of completion.
Beautiful and introspective - and very highly recommended."
"I was listening to episode #111 of TAL: Adventures in the Simple Life, the story of three people who set out to travel across the US on horseback, when I suddenly flashed back to a book I read while in grade school about a woman who journeyed across Western Australia on camel. A couple of google searches later, and I found this book! When I checked this out of the library as a kid, I remember being fascinated by this woman's exotic journey and the starkness of the Australian outback. Apparently the prose in this book, which is mostly meant to showcase the gorgeous photographs taken by the National Geographic photographer who met up with Davidson at pre-arranged points, is excerpted from the book she wrote about the journey: Tracks, which I will look forward to reading someday."
