West of Centre: A Journey of Discovery Into the Heartland of Australia by Ray Ericksen

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket is in good condition with wear to edges, now enclosed in dust jacket protector. Interior and binding are also very good.

In 1967, Ray Ericksen bought a Land Rover and set out to discover what lay beyond Australia's coastal fringe.

Ericksen recounts his seven months of solitary travel and reports on his observations of the interior of Australia. He discovers the Centre through the changes it wrought within himself, aware of its mystery and always conscious of the early European explorers, particularly Ernest Giles, in whose path he was travelling.
