Out this month is a new book by Karen Gardiner, Desert Escapes that features a tantalising series of images from raw and beautiful locations that simply demand to be explored. The section on Australia is solely comprised of two Luxury Lodges of AustraliaLongitude 131º and Mt Mulligan Lodge.

Below is a snippet from the author.

“My first taste of the desert was intoxicating. I was in Australia’s Northern Territory where the hot air felt like a slap and the red earth looked like a firestorm. Having spent most of my life up until that moment on the northeast coast of Scotland, it was a sensation that felt utterly out of my then-small world. That sensation, and the desert, has tugged at me ever since.” – Karen Gardiner, Desert Escapes.
