Who’d be mad enough to go travelling to some of the most isolated places in the world in a beaten-up old truck? Meet John ‘Roothy’ Rooth, Australia’s best-known bush mechanic, as he takes you on seven of the most iconic 4WD trips in Australia.
In a country where a little trip is thousands of kilometres and a busy place means someone's been there before, you'll smell the dust, the rain and the diesel on every page. Out of Range is the story of one man's love for his country, his old Toyota called 'Milo' and some of the more incredible adventures they've shared. With Roothy as your guide, you’ll find sandy deserts to cross, snowy mountains to climb, crocodile swamps to plunge through and sun-drenched beaches to soak up.
Join John Rooth for an entertaining discussion of his new book, Out of Range.
Books will be available for purchase on the day, or bring your copy from home for John to sign.
