Outback Odyssey (Adventure Explorers)

By: Alastair Humphreys

The Adventure Explorers are back - and this time, they are facing their hottest, toughest challenge yet

Inspired by the incredible true story of explorer Robyn Davidson, Tom and Lucy are setting out to cross the unforgiving Australian Outback. But trading their canoes for thousands of miles of scorching red dirt means mastering a completely different mode of transport: a string of highly stubborn camels. Paddling rivers is one thing, but surviving the desert with creatures that spit, bite and refuse to move is a whole new test.

As they push deeper into one of the most isolated places on Earth, Tom and Lucy must battle blistering heat, endless sand and the constant, desperate search for water. Out here, the map is mostly empty, help is a world away, and one small mistake could spell disaster. Yet, the desert is as magnificent as it is dangerous.

Along the way they discover ancient landscapes, meet people who know the desert better than anyone, and encounter wild dingoes and kangaroos. Packed with excitement, humor and jaw-dropping facts about deserts, wildlife and exploration, Outback Odyssey is a thrilling ride for anyone who loved Canoe Challenge.
