Dream Road: A Journey of Discovery invites readers to travel the Cape York tracks with late Australian adventurer-artist Percy Trezise. This richly illustrated 1997 memoir blends personal diary, art history and bush lore, capturing the spirituality, folklore and landscapes that shaped his life and work.

Trezise retraces old Dreaming routes, revealing rock-art galleries, ancient campsites and the living culture of the region’s Traditional Owners. Along the way he sketches, reflects and shares yarns that link colonial frontiers to timeless Aboriginal stories, making the book a vivid primer on Australian cultural geography.

The 205-page paperback is clean, tightly bound and free of notes, tears or dog-ears. Only the closed page edges and inside covers show light foxing, leaving the internal illustrations and text bright. From a smoke-free home, this vintage Allen & Unwin edition is ready for collectors of Australiana, travel memoirs and illustrated nature writing.

Whether you study Indigenous art, collect outback histories or simply love a well-told journey, Trezise’s Dream Road offers an inspiring, gently worn copy you can shelve with pride.
