Yeah...

(HORN TOOTS)

JENNY:
Bye, Rob! Love you!

RICK:
Bye, Robyn!

Bye, Diggity! Good luck!

ANNIE:
Don't die out there!

JENNY, ON RECORDING:

I know you well enough

never to ask why you're doing this,

or why you want to do it alone.

But I guess if the reason's

good enough for you,

it's good enough for me.

Anyway, I made you a

tape for your trip.

That old record of your mother's,

the one you used to play to death.

Whatever it is you're

looking for, Robbie,

find it and come home, OK?

The lonely night

Dreaming of a song

And the melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

- When our love was new...

(GASPS)

(CAMEL BRAYS)

Girlie, I reckon you've got

yourself a pregnant cow.

What?

Pregnant? But is that good or bad?

You've got a calf tied

up in camp overnight,

none of the others are

gonna stray very far.

So that's good.

'A few weeks later, I heard that

Kurt Posel sold his ranch.'

Like I said, it's not possible.

'The new owner had little

experience with camels.'

One camel. That's all I want.

The bastard owed me two.

Sorry. Never mentioned that to me.

Hey, do you even know

what you're doing?

(BELLOWS)

I wouldn't use a nose-line.

(GROWLS, GRUNTS)

- Settle down, you bastard!

- ROBYN:
Let go of the rope.

(CAMEL BELLOWS)

- Get outta there!

- (GROWLS)

Shut the gate.

Hey, Dookie.

(DOOKIE GROANS)

Easy.

- (DOOKIE GRUNTS)

- That's the way.

Come on, Dookie.

- Whoosh, Dookie. Whoosh.

- (GROWLS)

(GROANS)

(CONTINUES GROANING)

Do they do that often?

- The bulls?

- Yeah.

Oh, hell yeah. All the time.

You want to keep your kids

away from them, for sure.

- Come on, Dig!

- (DIGGITY BARKS)

'And so I'm writing to you

in the hope that your magazine

will sponsor my trip.

I believe National Geographic

to be of the highest

international repute.

The trip will take me through

some of the most beautiful

and barren country

the desert can show.

I am enclosing a map

of my proposed route,

from Alice Springs to Ayers Rock,

then on through the Western

Desert to the Indian Ocean.'

(CAMEL BRAYS)

'I have three camels

and one small calf

trained and ready to go.

They are perfectly reliable beasts.

Their names are Dookie...'

(BRAYS)

'...Bub, Zelly

and baby Goliath.

I am well aware of the

hardship I will be facing

and the first to admit I

am remarkably unqualified

for such a hazardous undertaking.

But this is precisely the

point of my journey.

I'd like to think an ordinary

person is capable of anything.

I look forward to hearing

from you in the near future.

Yours faithfully, Robyn Davidson.'

- Sorry, Dookie.

Grab that. A bull in rut would
