Hermannsburg, the home of artist Albert Namatjira and other well-known painters, became Groom's headquarters. From there, he made numerous expeditions into wilder and more inaccessible regions.

Travelling on foot with an Indigenous guide and a team of camels, Groom explored the Macdonnell and Krichauff ranges, the desert country past the salty Lake Amadeus, Uluru, and the Olgas.

Based on the notes and photographs he took as he travelled, I Saw A Strange Land is Groom's wonderful record of his extensive journey through the heart of the continent.
