I'm riding south, following the Mawson Trail, through an outback landscape of red mountains, dry creek beds and small towns. It is where I grew up in the early 1960s. I went back on a long bike ride, looking for a good photograph and a poem or two out there on the trail. I wasn't expecting my family history to impact so much on the story. Through Ranges Sad and Beautiful is a film about a journey, a landscape, family and the power of memory.
