Shimmering Spokes: One Australian's 16000km Odyssey

by Richard Allen

In order to raise awareness of and funds for cancer research, Richard Allen made a seven-month bicycle ride around the perimeter of Australia that took him to some of the continent's most remote areas, including outback Queensland, the Top End, and the Kimberley. This wry and honest look at Australia and Australians truly captures the color and character of the people he met and the places he visited.
