A High-Spirited 1999 Memoir of Hitchhiking 7,000 Miles Across the Australian Outback

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tony Horwitz recounts his solo 7,000-mile hitchhiking expedition through the heart of the Australian Outback. Traveling by road trains, battered pickup trucks, and mail runs, Horwitz navigated from Sydney into desolate mining towns, remote cattle stations, and the Red Centre.

Written with keen journalistic observational skill and humor, his journal records conversations with opal diggers, stockmen, roadhouse owners, and Indigenous Australians, capturing the rugged humor and immense scale of the Outback.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Tony Horwitz delivers a sharp, funny, and deeply observant chronicle of Australian Outback hitchhiking. A classic work for readers of Australian travel literature, journalism, and road-trip memoirs.
