Three months old...

...and to celebrate, Little Man and I went to the pictures. I may not have the cinematographic references to give a full blown review but I can tell you that Tracks, the true story of a woman who walked nearly 2000 miles across Australia with four wild camels and her dog, is exquisite.

Mia Wasikowska plays Robyn Davidson, who made the trip in the late 70's, with quiet poignancy letting the beautiful scenery and calm determination of Davidson shine through. Having secured sponsorship from National Geographic in return for allowing a photographer to meet with her at various points of the trip, the result is a story all about a woman's desire to be alone. This film is not only beautiful but massively inspiring; Davidson completed the trip despite the danger it clearly posed without justification, she simply wanted to complete the trip and had the determination and strength to do it.

This film really touched me and I highly recommend that you go and see it and as The Times review of the film said last week, take your teenage daughters to see this beautiful example of womanhood at its best.
