Alone Across the Outback | Nat Geo Live

[@marissatamayo3699]

Tracks is my favorite film of all times and I just read the book also. I could not keep my eyes out of it.. it is really a marvelous adventure of a young woman, quite unique. Without the help and love of Rick Smolan, journalist of the National Geographic, she could not have accomplished her trip. Camels are beautiful but difficult animals and not to speak about the challenges of the dessert.

[@AFloridaSon]

I just watched "Tracks" on KZbin, and I became instantly enamored with this woman, and her story.

[@mmm81m6]

This is such a beautiful story, about an amazing lady in the true sense of the word.

[@timbodedidleo]

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I was completely glued to your 'outback tracks' photo journal/life story here Rick. Seems to me that we're all very lucky that Robyn dared to share her own personal adventure.

[@denahom]

The principal difference between an adventurer and a suicide is that the adventurer leaves himself a margin of escape (the narrower the margin the greater the adventure), a margin whose width and length may be determined by unknown factors but whose navigation is determined by the measure of the adventurer's nerve and wits. It is exhilarating to live by one's nerves or toward the summit of one's wits--Tom Robbins

This talk was so much more revealing than the movie...

[@lagaman11]

"SPOILER ALERT"! Please do not read any further if you have not seen the movie, "TRACKS", yet! I just watched this movie last night. I never knew it existed until I found it on NETFLIX and thought it looked interesting. WOW! What a treat! I was, and still am, blown away. I had never heard of Robyn Davidson, never knew her story. Hell, I never knew there were camels in Australia! As the movie played out, I realized that this was not a fiction piece imagined from the mind of some brilliant writers, this was an actual true story!!! So well written, the cinematography was so beautiful (I could have watched the entire movie on mute and loved it), and the acting (even by the supporting cast) was so good as to make you feel like a peeping tom, rather than a very lucky audience member. I was moved to tears at the end. For some reason, those photos of Robyn's actual adventures at the end of the movie- well, they really got to me. They somehow pushed home the reality that this was her true adventure, and she did it, she really made it happen. I am ordering the book today, and I can not wait to get lost in it's pages.

lagaman11 That's a spoiler? Dude, you ought to look up the word "spoiler" in the district.

[@sitzpinkler1420]

A lot of commenters saying they can't wait to see the movie but I recommend the book. It's a much different story to what is portrayed in the hollywood film and way more interesting.

[@robinmehra9103]

Agree! Ño movie ever has matched up to the written. I guess, in the movie your imagination is stunted. Whereas in the book you can imagine the topo, the incidents, why even the main person aróund whom the story revolves. From Heminģay to the war movies.......

[@lisaebrom9956]

I found the book read and reread it. Amazing story.

[@robinmehra9103]

[@skeptreuk660]

Great story and well delivered, thanks for your work.

[@kschallert3569]

What a wonderful story. Robin is an amazing g and brave, and very interesting human.

[@hansistein6325]

Robyn's journey across the Gibson says more about us as a civilization than it does about her or her challenging trip. We are nuts!!

[@jahimjauh-hey5653]

I’m excited to read her book now.

[@bariscacan]

Ahhhh keşke Avustralya'nın o güzel topraklarında ben de yürüyebilsem.Hayatımda en çok istediğim bu.Bu filmi defalarca izledim ve her izlediğimde beni buradan alıp o diyarlara götürüyor.

She has more balls than I do. I hike a lot in the woods but not alone.

[@chinzanasweat]

I hiked alone but not in such extreme environment and even there almost died of fear when met two guys of not very intelligent look.

Just watch tracks film its amazing what a movie is this

[@cuejumper]

Watch the movie 'tracks' based on this epic journey.

[@gcgarden4007]

❤❤❤

[@hansistein6325]

I read Tracks many years ago, and think that Rick's imposition on Robyn's trip changed the whole nature of the thing, and not positively. It's like Civilization feeding off a private experience, capitalizing on anything 'interesting' or "unique,' and they made a friggin film about it, made money off it, all because a private individual wanted to do something for her own reasons. Is nothing sacred? I often wonder what Davidson thinks about the whole experience today....

[@helenasousa9037]

Hansi Stein Somewhere I agree with you on the other hand, not being told is a waist. This is like when I was told stories from my grandma land. So vividly. I still haven't been there but because she told about it , I want to go. We're social animals , we need to tell. By the way , her journey was being told by everyone she met along her journey. This way the impact is international.

[@sjsbmksps]

We definitely need each other to produce a life worth living. And some people have experience that no one else will. So much knowledge is lost through their death. They never told it.
