Wilderness Trek is a 1944 novel by Zane Grey. Unlike most of his novels it was set in Australia. It was published in 1944, after his death in 1939.[1]
It was based on his trip to Australia and he wrote it in late 1936 to early 1937.[2][3] The book was heavily edited after Grey's death - a revised edition, closer to his original draft, was published in 1999 as The Great Trek.
Two American cowboys, Red Krehl and Sterl Hazelton, arrive in Australia to help drive a “mob” of cattle through three thousand miles of the outback. They clash with villain, Ash Ormiston.
