- Summary:
-
Bill Peasley and his associates travelled to the Great Sandy Desert in 1976. They brought into civilisation the last of the wild aboriginals who had, because of tribal laws, chosen to live a free life in the desert. This is the story of the expedition, the family, and earlier travels in that area.
