Inside Tracks

In the late 1970s, 20-something Robyn Davidson undertook a remarkable adventure to travel solo across the Australian outback, from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean, armed only with a few camels and her dog for company. Rick Smolan, a National Geographic photographer at the time, accompanied her along sections of the route to document her journey, the result of which formed a long-lasting relationship between the two and a visually stunning account of one woman's dream of solitude and a journey of physical hardship alongside emotional awakening. As it documents one of the world's most impressive travel stories, Inside Tracks goes on to explore how it was brought to the screen in a major feature film Tracks (2014), starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Adam Driver (Girls). Featuring excerpts from the screenplay along with stills from the movie, Inside Tracks becomes a visual feast of Rick Smolan's celebrated photojournalism alongside stills from a hugely-anticipated film. The book is also accompanied by a unique photo recognition app that plays scenes from the movie when placed over particular images, and comes complete with a DVD of bonus material.
