A detailed account, with photographs, of the author's travels through the Mcdonough and Krichauff ranges, through the desert to Lake Amadeus, Ayer's Rock with its amazing Old Woman Cave and onto Mount Olga. Groom lived and worked in the Red Centre, travelling by car, camel and on foot, falling under its spell of limitless distances and unbelievable colours. For 1950s Australians, books like Groom's were their only glimpse of the inland. This is a portrait of those times - a strange and wonderful land - with 52 photos, including one of Namitjira painting.
