Boats in the Desert

Rex Ellis

Written with great humour and insight it describes some the world’s most unusual wilderness adventures, giving the reader a glimpse of an outback that few will ever see. In record inland floods of 1974, he opened the fist boats down the kilometres wide Diamantina River (Warburton channel) to Lake Eyre, and completed the only crossing ever of the lake, travelling the full length from North to South.
