Desert archaeologist and senior research fellow Dr Mike Smith talks about his recent expedition into the remote southern Simpson Desert on the search for signs of a lost world.
Mike took part in a camel trek to visit the Kallakoopah region, near Lake Eyre in South Australia, during June and July 2007.
Mike recounts some of the highlights from the expedition through three intersecting stories: the desert and its history; the story of his fellow travellers, the people and the camels; and the actual journey - what it is like travelling with camels through the desert.
You can also listen to Mike's audio diary of the trip for more tales on the day-to-day activities, view the map of the route taken and look at a selection of photos taken during the trip by Mike, as well as by freelance photographer Peter Eve. These are available from the Centre for Historical Research section of the website.
