12,000 km on horseback through the Gulf of Carpentaria, Tanami Desert and Namatjira’s home of Hermannsburg. Fever. Crocodiles. Horses lost and killed by snakes. Abandoned by his guides. Opium. Murder. Theft. A public execution. Clash of cultures. As WWI broke out in 1914, why did a deaf priest of Far West Queensland endure all of this?
