Description
The Colour of Courage is a remarkable true story of an epic horse trip made by Sharon Muir Watson and Ken Roberts. During their journey, they discovered many adventures, including riding through leech-infested jungles and trying to herd horses through some of the toughest terrain on earth.
This book tells the story of two young friends who set out to ride Australia's 5,000 kilometer long Bicentennial National Trail. Along the way, they share their experiences and the stories of others, including old drovers recounting lost tales from back-country Australia.
The result is a spell-binding account that will leave you with a sense of the vast and inhospitable country they traversed, and the bravery and vitality of the two young explorers who dared to ride its length on a do-or-die journey.
