In 1923, Philippa Bridges, sister to the Governor of South Australia decided to go "overlanding across the Continent and taking a homeward bound ship from Darwin", intending to travel “unhurriedly in the same fashion as the dwellers themselves did." Travelling two thousand miles from Macumba Station to Darwin, of which over 600 miles she travelled by camel, accompanied by an Aboriginal tracker Macumba Jack, and a Lubra Topsy, and wrote A Walk-About in Australia: I had a great wish to see the Never-never, and possibly a flicker of the nomadic instinct may also have urged me, for I know that the thought of the long northward march, which extended practically from the great [sic] Australian Bight to the Arafura Sea, made a strong appeal.
Ideal for readers interested in animals & nature.
