<p>This week we are following 20th century explorer Michael Terry. I urge you to read Michael Terry's autobiography, it is the story of a hard, adventurous life, much of it in northern and central Australian deserts. Born in 1899, Terry fought as a mechanic in World War 1 in a British armoured car brigade in a little known action in Russia. Gassed, he was invalided out and came to Western Australia in 1919 where, on a cattle station near Carnarvon, he discovered his love for the outback. </p><br><p>An explorer's routes is a tremendous way of having a goal and a focus, rather than just aimlessly wandering about the Outback, visiting the tourist hot-spots. Creating trips based around&nbsp;explorers&nbsp;and the pioneers has enabled us to gain a much fuller appreciation of the mighty Outback.</p><br><p>Researching stories of explorers &amp; pioneers and attempting to follow their routes can be enormously satisfying. It certainly gets you off those beaten tracks. And it also leads to making fantastic contacts; people who add an extra dimension and bring another perspective to the journey.</p><br><p> Read the books and study the maps - search on-line - these are the Europeans who shaped our current status. </p><br><p>&nbsp;Yes, you can speak to us to feature this show on your community radio station, or website, we would love to talk with you.&nbsp;If you would like to reach out and help us with this fiercely Australian and independent podcast with sponsorship or product support, please contact us.</p><br><p>We love your feedback and comments, and if you have something that you think we should feature, review, visit or discuss, then please drop us an email at&nbsp;[email protected]</p><br><p>Like us on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/The-Road-Less-Travelled-Podcast-108512988182070" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Facebook</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theroadlesstravelled2021/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p>Support us on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/52282857" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a></p><p>Listen on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1k8zdxpSsczZM0G40IOlPi?fbclid=IwAR3vMbPyIAWepiqJBv8nfPPnFsyovC7Dx1rT1Gkd3yf0OhWqzFuEYBkwGiM#_=_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a></p><p>Listen on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-road-less-travelled/id1572055919?fbclid=IwAR1K8he99eJQjwgHiZvk7NzotnXazkYwkUpOHOG60lIZyCts9UxuGXxV34E" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple</a></p><p>Listen on <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNzk4OTAxLnJzcw?sa=X&amp;ved=0CAMQ4aUDahcKEwi4_563n6_xAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ&amp;hl=en-AU&amp;fbclid=IwAR2Gc_WisE8NX_lH-ZuaEweTcRL__Wjwue9tVwyvqyi0V5U7y415GqC2kAA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google</a></p><p>Listen on<a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-road-less-travelled-83672455/?fbclid=IwAR0MhMqttAbgDwHtZtniLJzpzTYtQVu4CTpzlmgq7U8XL7pEbyP9O_EU9t0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> iHeartRadio</a></p><p>Listen on <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1798901/episodes/%20https://soundcloud.com/perthmx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soundcloud</a></p><p>Thank you for supporting us&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27844421" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Support the show</a> (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27844421)</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
