"In the Musgrave Ranges" by Conrad H. Sayce is a young adult adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to the protagonist, Saxon Stobart, and his friend Rodger Vaughan, who travel to Central Australia with dreams of adventure. Their journey begins in the township of Hergott Springs, where they immediately encounter the harsh realities of the outback, including a tornado that nearly claims their lives. The opening
portion of the narrative sets the tone for the sweeping adventures that unfold as Sax and Vaughan navigate their new environment. After a frightening tornado strikes during their first night, they learn that their train to Oodnadatta will not continue due to previous storm damage. They encounter a bushman named Peter, who invites them to accompany him on a camel trek to Oodnadatta, introducing them to the intriguing and harsh life of the outback. The budding tale promises a mix of challenges and growth for these young adventurers as they face wild cattle, potential encounters with Aboriginal tribes, and the overarching mystery of Sax's father, an accomplished drover known as Boss Stobart, who may be in trouble in the Musgrave Ranges.
