Today I finished a novel I've been working on for literally months. It was given to me by my aunt specifically for this trip. The book is non-fiction about a young Queenslander girl who carries out her dream to walk camels across the outback from Alice Springs to the ocean in Western Australia. Although it took me a long time to finish the book, it was a sad feeling to finally get it done. It's one of the best books I've ever read and it has inspired me so much to see this country on my own terms, not by some guided tour. I also saw a camel for the first time today and after reading the book, I have so much more of an understanding and appreciation for these animals. They are just beautiful and strong. If you ever get a chance to read this book please do. 'Tracks' by Robyn Davidson.
