Synopsis: A mystery to most Australians, the Tanami desert is a waterless hell of dense scrub and spinifex-infested sand ridges. In mid-2002, two men set out to do what no one had done before them - cross the Tanami on foot. What they had in their favour, which both Gregory and Stuart did not, were camels - and in Andrew Harper a man who knew how to work them. Two years in the planning, the trip rekindled the golden age of Australian exploration, as Kieran Kelly - a 49 year old Sydney merchant banker - and Harper, without a support crew or back-up, pitted themselves and their five camels against the very worst the desert could throw at them. This account of their epic adventure and their struggle to survive in a hostile environment is a classic of courage, humour and tenacity, set against the backdrop of one of the world's great deserts.
