Content Creation Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based publisher of non-fiction audiobooks and a sponsor of the Golden Anniversary celebrations that brought the 5 surviving members of the Oxford & Cambridge First Overland Expedition to Singapore, is proud to present the audiobook edition of First Overland.

Antony Barrington Brown ('BB'), Patrick Murphy and Tim Slessor spent a week narrating First Overland, first released in 1957 and a best-selling inspiration for young men in the 1950s with wanderlust. Sir David Attenborough recorded his foreword in his home in England.

Initially, there was a suggestion that a professional voice actor with a youthful British accent should narrate this audiobook edition, to approximate the Expedition members as they might have sounded 50 years ago. While this would have produced a perfectly narrated audiobook, it would lack the ‘I-was-there’ flair and bravado that was characteristic of the 6 overlanders. So, though all are in their 70s, the decision was made that the men who were part in this extraordinary journey also be the ones to bring these words to life. For whatever it may occasionally lack in the precision of its delivery, the 6 1/-2hours audiobook edition of First Overland more than rewards the listener with a heartfelt telling of one of the greatest overland stories ever.
