About the Author

Over more than forty years, author Simon Nevill has travelled to nearly every corner of the Australian Western Desert region, driving the vast majority of the 4WD tracks that criss-cross this desert country. A professional photographer (author of Panoramic Western Australia), he has a deep love of deserts, particularly the Western Deserts and the desert people who still live there and hold onto their ancient culture and belief systems. He also has a huge love and knowledge of the world of nature (author of Guide to the Birds of Western Australia). This love permeates through his new Great Western Deserts book and gives the reader a real understanding of this vast and remote region.
