It's the Great Australian Dream: hitting the road and doing 'The Big Lap'. From the wild, storm-lashed beaches of the southern coastline to the endless dunes of the remote western deserts, through the Red Centre and across the Top End from Broome to Cape York, travel writer and photographer Lee Atkinson and her partner Bill McKinnon spent 42 weeks driving 40,000 of the country's roughest, toughest and dustiest kilometres on a lap of mainland Australia. Towing a camper trailer, their road trip took them across some of the country's most iconic landscapes and destinations and into places where few other travellers roam. Featuring hundreds of beautiful images, and full of helpful information to help you plan your own Big Lap, this is Lee's pictorial diary of their journey.
