A stunning photo album exploring the beauty of Australia riding a Ducati.

The urge for travel and adventure, for freedom and discovery has always impelled men to move on, cross oceans and continents, climb mountains and brave deserts. This is a story that celebrates power and grandeur, set on the dirt roads that cross the remote territories of Australia. Two motorcyclists recount in real time their adventures at the wheels of their Ducati Multistrada bikes. Riding along some of the world’s wildest and most beautiful dirt roads, they encounter the kangaroos, parrots, shimmering deserts and the forests of Australia. The motorcyclists – with their bikes, their faces strained by fatigue, their shining eyes and emotion-filled smiles – manage to perform magic, transforming the road into a journey.

"Here, then, is Beauty, otherwise known as the fifth element. Like Earth, Water, Air and Fire, it can be found everywhere on this island in its purest form. Nature is an artist and Iceland is her masterpiece". Iceland is, in some respects, the most extreme country on Earth. In this book, Iceland sets the stage for a trail-biking adventure of a lifetime. Giulietta Cozzi and Luca Viglio, from half-mag.com, set out to ride the trails across the island with a BMW R 1200 GS Rallye and a BMW G 310 GS as travelling companions - adventure-ready motorbikes, chosen for a trip in a land that is both volcanically and geologically alive. Letting the GS race through the Icelandic trails was an experience of the pure and absolute pleasure of motorbike travel. The journey took Giulietta and Luca through both pristine and wild places; there was no room for carelessness. Every decision had to be taken with extreme care and nothing left to chance; as the Icelandic proverb states, "Iceland does not tolerate idiots". Text in English and Italian.
