In the 1920s and 1930s, Michael Terry undertook no less than fourteen expeditions through central and northern Australia by car, truck and later by camel. These expeditions opened up much of the previously untraversed country in Australias "dead heart" and "top end, and are much sought-after by modern Australian outback 4WD travellers. Through a Land of Promise describes in terrific detail the 1925 expedition from Darwin in the Northern Territory to Broome in Western Australia in Terrys typical Boys Own style, with his scientific mates, The Professor, Wag and the Joker. Out of print for 90 years, this new edition is a corrected paperback of the original 1927 edition, tables many illustrations and appendices.
