- Summary:
-
"Len Beadell's 'Gunbarrel Road Construction Party' built a network of roads stretching 6500 kilometres across almost unknown wilderness in Central Australia ... Beadell tells the story of his second road ... 1600 kilometres from east to west, from South Australia to West Australia through the heart of the Great Victoria Desert. Construction took years, as the road was driven through the almost impenetrable [territory] ... which, until Beadell's bulldozer came along, had stopped everything but camels ... Despite all the hardships and difficulties of battling the bush, the projects always had their lighter side ... Len Beadell tells the story with an eye for the human and humorous details"--Publisher's description.
