This is the story of the men who challenged a continent and constructed the railway known as The Ghan, through country where explorer Charles Sturt found the heat so intense that the ink on his pen dried before he could put it to paper.
Fascinating glimpses of the past-tales of itinerant doctors, cameleers, and navies-are interwoven with a first-hand account of this vital train service that has become Australian legend. To write the history of the Ghan, Basil Fuller made the journey in a brake van from Port Augusta to the Alice, speaking with old-timers who remembered those epic days.
