How I survived 71 Days lost in a desert hell!
As a major part of my job has been building a new Library I
thought I would do the right thing and actually go and borrow some books. I thought this would be a great opportunity to
do some reading to get me excited about the big trip ahead. The question was – what to look for?? So trusting technology I went to the library
book search and typed in “outback”. I hope
this is not a bad omen but the first two books that came up in the search were:
‘Left for Dead in the
Outback’
and ‘Surviving Australia – A
survivors guide to travelling through the Australian Wilderness’!!!!
Now I know I was after some ‘exciting’ reading but I am not
sure if this is what I had in mind. Luckily for me the next book on the list was not as bad (‘The Grey Nomad’s Guidebook’).
While I must say the grey hair is starting to come through (not helping by the above books) I don't think I qualify as a grey nomad so I settled on a couple of other books hopefully more relevant.
Lets just hope I don't need a camel to rescue me!
If you havent already read it, check out Swimming with Crocodiles by Will Chaffey.

I have it as an audiobook for the long drive. Sounds interesting
