They never reach help: the journey ends at Horseshoe Bend, with Pastor Strehlow's death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTed Strehlow grew up with Aborigines on the mission, and his knowledge of their customs and stories was unique. The book combines this knowledge, with a detailed awareness of the landscape and its sacred places, the battles that have been fought there, the lonely outposts of white settlement, and of the Biblical resonances of their own journey through this desert setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078908526828,"sku":"9781922146779","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9878913482872.jpg?v=1765224656"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/tgh-strehlow.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
