Description
Augustus Charles Gregory, Australia's greatest explorer, left a powerful narrative of his 1855-6 expedition to northern Australia - but that was not enough for Kieran Kelly. This book tells how Kelly turned an extraordinary dream into hard, backbreaking reality, to take men and packhorses along the same dangerous and exciting trail that Gregory blazed 144 years before.Tags
