On a trip north Gloria Brenna, Aboriginal activist, meets a bloke who tries to entice her to visit his community. But she wants to know if the road out there is any good. He's puzzled. 'Road? No road,' he says, ' ...no road ...bitumen aaallll the way.' No Road is a seductive mix of storytelling and ideas, and a personal account of travels in outback Australia, Europe, Africa ...and suburban Newtown. Irony and humour invert the usual expectations of a travel book; nobody seems to be going anywhere.
