'With this book thousands of Australians will relive the thrill of overland travels through the Middle East, Central Asia, India and Africa. Until unrest and warfare shut them down in the late 70s, adventure bus journeys were all the rage with young travellers, headed to or from Europe and Britain. Penn Overland, Indianman and other companies ran trips lasting many weeks over terrible roads, through deserts and across mountain ranges, via ancient cities and spectacular ruins. In this splendid illustrated book, Gerald Davis recreates a time that lives on in exciting memories.' (Publisher's blurb)
