Heres a little more about the book:
Catch up With the Sun'is the unusual account of a remarkable achievement as ex-RAAF pilot and veterinarian Heidi Douglas writes about her journey through the outback of Australia with horses and camels. She covers Victoria, NSW, Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory. The journey (full of incidents and setbacks)is fascinating in itself, redefining what we think we know about our country ' but the biggest surprise is that the animals steal the show!Who would have thought that a short fat horse with the name of Gumby and two haughty camels could win over the hearts of readers ' and convince us that this story is really all about them and Heidi just tagged along for the ride!?
And heres where to enter!
(Please note that as the publisher will be shipping the prizes, only entries from Australian entrants can be counted.)
As always, a very interesting giveaway!!
