There's a track winding back - Phil Jarrett

Journalist retraces steps of explorers. Starts by walking from Sydney to Parramatta, goes a bunch of places, meets a guy with a dog along the way, takes his daughter fishing.

For some reason this wasn't the most engaging of retrospectives of Australian explorers. Jarrett did manage to have a fair few adventures tagging along Leichhardt's route (for example), and he does convey the bumbling along from stop to stop of olde-tyme Exploreing
