'It was 1962. Sweat-soaked and filthy, her tender Scottish skin punctured by the merciless spinifex spines, Griselda Sprigg battled on, helping haul their stricken vehicle clear of its latest bogging. DUNE IS A FOUR-LETTER WORD tells the story of Griselda and Reg Sprigg's pioneering desert adventures - not only in the Simpson Desert but all over the vast Australian outback. The expedition continued, Griselda still hoping to be the first woman ever to make the crossing.' (Publication summary)
