Deserts are the most haunting of all the Earth’s landscapes. Sometimes we think of them as vast empty spaces that dwarf and test our human spirit. But that view is wrong in so many ways.

I was not going to sit here for 52 minutes and watch this , but I could not turn it off . Truly enjoyed this & do hope there are more like it . I could really feel Philips pain when he was trying to explain his injury , the emotional trauma just under the surface .. This was & is a bloody well put together insight to Australia .. many thanks . from Quilpie ..

I and a mate Stewart made a trip up the Oodnadatta track with a Morris Mini Moke back in 1969 to the Alice. It took us a fortnight from Melbourne but what a trip. I lost all the pickies we took but the memories are still there and this video has reunited them with me. It was a ripper of a trip and I will take it to the grave. Thanks for this memory.

Thanks.. I'm from Sri Lanka and watch 'Tracks' documentaries which provide us with knowledge about the world we live in.. I'm expecting more like this from the 'Tracks'.

I used to live in Coober Pedy , wild west of Australia , and unforgettable place.

Boy that little Desert pilot girl sure did the right thing! What a lovely career!

The opal miner is tough as you can get. What a legion!

Thank you again for such a wonderful video. I have seen places and people that i will never be able to visit in my entire life ! Trinidad & Tobago.

As a South Australian, thank you for highlighting our lovely landscape. I guess we are considered the backwater to the rest of Australia and sometimes looked down upon. It was refreshing to see some complimentary footage. 😊

One of the most festinating Documentary. Totally loved it

Such an awesome documentary. Thank You 🙏 Living in Australia for over 50 years, I have never had the opportunity to visit the great Aussie outback desert. It’s on my Aussie travel bucket list that’s for sure👍 As for Phillip, he had me tear up with his story about losing his leg in that horrible accident. Glad he is ok and still enjoying his passion for Opal mining. Also that beautiful young lady who flys the plane, she’s an absolute flying legend. From surf to baron desert is a definite sea change to say the least. And to the Aboriginal people, the real custodians of this vast spectacular country,, much respect ✊ to you and to the Aboriginal Elders past & present. May God Bless you always. 🖤🌕♥️
