An account of the author's excursions into the deserts of the Northern Territory and Western Australia, driving two Guy Roadless Vehicles, fitted with trailers, along with an AJS motorcycle and sidecar. The British Guy trucks were rugged, featuring 4-cylinder engines, fitted with a detachable cylinder head, and 4-speed gearbox, and fitted with caterpillar tracks.

After reaching Yeeda, they crossed the Fitzroy River, and then onto Broome.
