Description
The definitive eyewitness account of Donald Campbell's 1964 land speed record attempt on Lake Eyre is not only a vibrant portrait of one of the world's most hostile and mesmeric landscapes, but also a compelling psychological drama driven by huge ambition, bitter rivalry, rare tenacity, a rarely glimpsed vulnerability and, above all, death-defying courage.
This is the story of one man's obsession.
Bluebird & the Dead Lake captures the essence of Campbell's quest, offering a vivid depiction of both the natural challenges of Lake Eyre and the inner turmoil faced by those in pursuit of greatness. Readers are invited to journey into a world marked by extreme conditions and intense personal stakes.
