Sophie Matterson is a female adventurer from Brisbane. In 2021, Sophie became the first woman to complete a 4,750km camel crossing of Australia, walking her five wild camels - Jude, Delilah, Charlie, Clayton and Mac - from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Byron Bay in New South Wales. In 2022, she won the Australian Geographic Spirit of Adventure Award.
The Crossing is as profound as it is moving - a tapestry of adventure, love and, of course, camels. * Tim Cope, author of ON THE TRAIL OF GENGHIS KHAN *
