Suzanne Falkiner, writing about women writing about the wilderness, suggests that "Those rare women who have deliberately gone into the landscape alone, and not trailing in the tracks of a protective husband - from Daisy Bates in the 1880s to Eve Langley in the 1930s and Robyn Davidson in the 1970s - have often had to combat being considered eccentric, or even mad".
In 1992, Smolan published From Alice to Ocean, a collection of photographs he took of writer Robyn Davidson's 1,700-mile trek across the deserts of West Australia, during which he would periodically drive out to meet her and photograph her journey's progress.
Having met the photographer Rick Smolan in Alice Springs, she insisted that he be the photographer for the journey.
