A relaxed and wide-ranging look-back conversation with Alex Nelson, with snippets and stories of early pioneering in Central Australia - the Johannsen family at Deep Well, the coming of trains and road trains, the wartime Stuart Highway and sealing the south road, mining gold at Winnecke, mica in the Strangways, copper at Jervois and the Pinnacles and tungsten at Molyhil ... plus anything else coming to mind on the day...
