Join Rick Carey on his epic 40,000km unsupported, solo journey around Australia, on the back of a Royal Enfield Bullet, aptly named Peggy Pegasus C50389. Rick’s witty, down to earth accounts are brilliantly balanced by his honest, sometimes frustrated, reflections of sharing basic medical care and first aid with the First Nations peoples who welcome him into their remote communities. By helping those suffering from easily curable diseases Rick is motivated to continue the movement for real change in addressing, raising awareness of and at last, attempting to permanently ‘close the gap.’

His five months touring Australia’s outback are a riveting, brutally honest read, as Rick takes his mobile motorcycle treatment facility across the country, making friends, learning to be an effective ally in the fight for change and spurring on readers to be part of the solution, not the problem.

A brilliant travel memoir that both entertains and educates.
