AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The campervan sits in the driveway waiting for Alice--a jaded academic--and her husband, Will, to retire and hit the road ... any day now.

'But when Will suddenly dies, Alice is lost. Unhappy at work, and with her future plans thwarted, she rises daily, puts one foot in front of the other, existing not living.

'Until one day, she climbs into the campervan and decides to go it alone. Escaping from her city life she heads across the Nullarbor, taking work as a shearers' cook, and meeting a colourful cast of characters who will change the way she views the world.

'Red Dirt Odyssey is a reminder that life can change in a moment but when one door closes, another opens. A story of contemporary Australian life explored - loss and loneliness, friendship and renewal, risk and adventure, set against the dramatic landscapes of outback and coastal Australia.'
