Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, University of Hannover (Philosophische Fakultät), course: Academic Writing and Research, language: English, abstract: The Australian outback is a reckless place to live in. It does not compromise but has to be taken the way it is: rugged, hot and dry. Still, there are people who chose to rather come to terms with all the difficulties of living in such a rough place, than moving to the comfort of the city. This paper aims to show how some of these difficulties, being education problems, insufficient healthcare and loneliness, are overcome, and why there are people who still prefer this lifestyle over the easier way of living in the city.

Long before Robyn Davidson wrote Tracks, the extraordinary Ernestine Hill was renowned for her intrepid travels across Australia's vast outback. After the birth of her illegitimate son, Ernestine Hill abandoned her comfortable urban life as a journalist for a nomadic one, writing about this country's vast interior and bringing the outback into the popular imagination of Australians. Throughout the 1930s Ernestine's hugely popular stories about Australia's remotest regions appeared in newspapers and journals around the nation. She still remains famous for her bestselling books The Great Australian Loneliness, The Territory, Flying Doctor Calling and My Love Must Wait. Call of the Outback provides a vivid portrait of Ernestine, from the early brilliance she showed as a child in Brisbane to her later life. In particular it evokes Ernestine's larger-than-life personality, the exotic landscapes she explored and the remarkable characters she met on her travels.
