The Red Highway
A key to unlock the heart of the country.
This is the story of a quest - a journey down the red highway.
On returning from a war zone, Nicolas Rothwell begins to explore the deserts and towns, sleepy coastline and hidden worlds of Australia's north. As he travels, his journey gathers momentum and finds a shape. He has unforgettable, even mystical encounters: with a nun, an explorer, a collector and a hunter. It becomes a quest - for knowledge and a sense of home - that builds to a stunning culmination.
"Rothwell's calm wondering at what he sees and hears on his travels left me with a feeling of enchantment." - Robert Dessaix
Red Highway is also available as an audio book through Louis Braille Audio
