Originally published in 1980, this book went through several reprintings after appearing in 1995. While there is a good map, there is no index, so it wasn't as useful as I had hoped. The story begins with our intrepid heroine arriving in Alice Springs--she goes on to learn to be a 'camel jockey' and cross the wastelands of the interior of Australia.
I found her description of the Aussie blokes of the era, in that frontier town, to be especially interesting. Ms. Davidson points out that there is a reason that Australia contributed so many rabid feminists to the movement (often abroad).
