In 1977, Dave Watson set out on a journey that would change his life forever. He walked 10,000 miles around Australia, becoming the first person to complete such a trek. His memoir, Walkabout Undone, is a detailed account of his journey, the people he met, and the challenges he faced.

Watson's journey began in Sydney. He walked north along the coast, through the rainforests of Queensland and the deserts of the Northern Territory. He met Aboriginal people, farmers, miners, and other travelers along the way. He faced challenges such as heat, thirst, hunger, and loneliness. But he also experienced the beauty of the Australian landscape and the kindness of the people he met.

Walkabout Undone is more than just a travelogue. It is a story of personal growth and discovery. Watson learns about himself and about the world around him. He comes to a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture and the importance of living in harmony with nature.

Watson's journey is an inspiration to anyone who has ever dreamed of ng something extraordinary. It is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

The Journey

Watson's journey around Australia took him through some of the most remote and challenging terrain in the world. He walked through deserts, rainforests, and mountains. He crossed rivers and creeks. He faced heat, thirst, hunger, and loneliness. But he also experienced the beauty of the Australian landscape and the kindness of the people he met.

One of the most challenging sections of Watson's journey was the Simpson Desert. This vast desert is known for its extreme heat and lack of water. Watson had to carry all of his own supplies, and he often had to walk for days without seeing another person.

Despite the challenges, Watson persevered. He walked for months on end, and he eventually completed his journey around Australia. He became the first person to walk 10,000 miles around the continent.

The People

Watson met many people on his journey around Australia. He met Aboriginal people, farmers, miners, and other travelers. He stayed with families in remote communities and shared meals with strangers.

Watson's encounters with Aboriginal people were particularly significant. He learned about their culture and their way of life. He came to a deeper understanding of the importance of living in harmony with nature.

Watson also met many other travelers on his journey. He shared stories and experiences with them. He learned about their dreams and aspirations.

The people Watson met on his journey helped to shape his experience. They taught him about themselves and about the world around him.

The Challenges
