Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to journey to the other side of the world, to brave a land of desert and desolation - the Australian Outback.

The last great land mass to be discovered by Europeans, the Aboriginal tribes settled here thousands of years earlier, establishing a rich and colourful culture.

If anyone can help you, Simon Chapman can.
