Fowles, Sally-Anne2017
Book
To stare across the expanse of a dry salt lake with an unseeable finish line, the surface is as hard as concrete and as loose as marbles, and your goal – a land speed record! The machine you ride is known as The Missile. This Australian woman’s bravery, skill and determination will leave you spellbound! Have you dreamt of hitting the open road ? The Big Lap perhaps? In the height of summer 1950, a 21 year old woman set off alone on an unimaginable epic quest from one side of the country to the other and back with no G.P.S, no mobile phone, limited services and bitumen being a rare treat. You will be enchanted by her courageous spirit! The pursuit of your dreams always comes with the element of fear. Breaking through this fear always comes with the element of courage. Read the stories of these extraordinary Australian heroines who have broken the stereotypical mould and they will not only inspire you but will also leave you in awe of their courage and dedication in pursuit of their passion.
