Graphically describes the horseback adventures of four people who rode across some of the most beautiful yet toughest country in the state of South Australia and its sister American state, Texas. The rides were undertaken in late 1985 to draw attention to the followiung year's 150th birthdays of the two enormous and, in many ways, similar states. The riders- two Texas women and two South Australian men- aimed to show that hardiness and courage did not die with the early pioneers.

<p>In his world-famous collection of quatrains, the RUBAIYYAT, Omar Khayaan celebrates the feelings of sorrow and joy that we go through when we put our faith in the Divine Spirit and leave the 'reality' of earthly priorities behind us. In images of drunkenness, his verses speak of mystic union with the Divine Self. The quatrains were translated into the English in 1859 by E. Fitzgerald, making them available to Europeans for the first time. The nineteenth century reader was given a rendering which portrayed a wine-inspired poet, a sceptical and fun-loving freethinker, without fully bringing out the mystical aspects of the work. This led to misinterpretations. 'The Rubaiyyat is a work of the Sufi tradition. Within it we can only discover that which we are capable of discovering. 'Wine' is here a metaphor for love and 'drunkenness' for spiritual ecstasy. His work is more spiritual than hedonistic; The reader should take up these verses and see in them what he can see.'
