![]() ![]() It's an inspiring story, one destined to change Alienor's life even in ways she had probably not imagined at the start of her journey, and something different to read for us living frenetic lives in urban jungles. While reading I found myself checking her progress along the trail on a map, and growing more and more interested about the national parks and places described (some of those I wish I'll be able to see one day). But together with all the struggles to complete the journey, there are the wild beauty of those remote areas of Eastern Australia, the growing bond between Alienor and her brumbies, and the people she meets along her journey. The Bicentennial National Trail, one of the longest walking trail in the world with its 5330 km, is a challenge for humans and horses, and Alienor documents in her memoir many of the difficulties encountered: from the strenuous exertion required to complete the steep sections in the trails, to the tropical and sub-tropical climate in Queensland, plus those unexpected problems that always happen. Wild at Heart describes the long trek along the Australian eastern coast that Alienor le Gouvello completed with her three tamed brumbies (Roxanne, Cooper and River) and her dog Fox.
