Books, Manuscripts
Nick Arley, a 55-year-old public servant from Canberra, sets out on a motorcycling odyssey to break a Guinness World Record crossing all ten of Australia's deserts. Needing to cover 5500 kilometres over less than twenty-nine days, Nick, with just his Suzuki motorbike for company, set off on an insane trek across Australia's ten harsh and isolated deserts, pushing himself physically, mentally and emotionally, completely alone and unassisted. This is the raw, vivid and gripping story of Nick's quest to become King of the Desert.
