Summary "From Ocean to Ocean: Across a Continent on a Bicycle" by Jerome J. Murif is a detailed travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Murif's ambitious journey as he takes on the challenge of crossing Australia from Adelaide to Port Darwin on a bicycle, a feat that appears both daunting and unprecedented. The narrative promises insights into the adventures, challenges, and reflections of a solitary traveler as he navigates the vast and often unforgiving Australian landscape. The opening of the travelogue presents the author’s initial restlessness and longing for an adventure that would set him apart from the crowd. As Murif grapples with his desire to accomplish something noteworthy, he ultimately resolves to embark on his bicycle journey, openly acknowledging the myriad dangers of such a venture. He details the preparations and considerations that go into safely traversing the continent, including the choice of his bicycle, the collection of necessary supplies, and the necessity of securing signatures as proof of his endeavor. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration filled with personal introspection, the thrill of adventure, and the unpredictable nature of the wilderness that lies ahead.
