The Nine Pillars of Cobb & Co by Dick Gledhill, photography by Evan Morgan

It is a bone-shattering ride through the harsh outback of Gidgee thorn and dust. Cameleers and horse riders alike shared the certainty of relentless heat during the day, bone-chilling cold nights, with only a few hours sleep to soothe their aching legs and sore bums. Every step, every crack of the whip would be remembered. And that was just the first day.
Tracing the nine pillars of the Winton to Boulia Cobb & Co trek would be an experience few could imagine, and few would forget. Documented with poetry, prose and breath-taking photography, this is a journey of true Australian spirit.
