Description

A multimedia activity based on an epic travel book written by Peter Pinney, an Australian adventurer who journeyed overland from Greece, through Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Assam and India, to Burma in 1949. Travelling with the bare minimum of luggage and usually penniless, he was the trailblazer for the legions of young Australians taking on the trouble-spots of the world with just a pack on their back and a guide book in their hand.

DUST ON MY SHOES follows the Parallel Journey of two young Australian travellers as they attempt to retrace Pinney's footsteps. There are four other sections in addition to the Parallel Journey. The Pinney Narrative includes over sixty animations based on Pinney's photographic archives. The Musical Journey features compositions based on Pinney's adventures in the book. The Pinney Vault looks at Pinney's life and times. And Rough Travel is a collection of stories from travellers, old and young.
