The first time . . . I saw Africa’s tallest peak
Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-dusted tip has pierced the clouds and is floating on a cushion of white. The captain has alerted us to its presence – “Mount Kili coming into view on the right, folks” – and the jumbo-load of passengers has lurched to catch sight of the fabled landmark: the world’s tallest free-standing mountain and Africa’s highest peak.
I snap a single photo on my fixed-lens analogue camera – this is 1992, after all – and it manifests* later, in the dark room, as a dull speck on an overexposed horizon. But the image burned on to my memory is altogether more vivid. This is the geographical evidence that finally confirms for me the existence of a world beyond the cloistered** society in which I have grown up. It embodies everything that matters to my restless soul: boundlessness*** and curiosity, and an unlimited supply of new horizons.
Moreover, it connects my own deep longing for adventure with that of my father, who led by great example: when he was in his early 20s, as I am in 1992, he set off by road from Johannesburg to Uganda with his best friend, aiming, along the way, to “climb Mount Kilimanjaro in our miners’ boots”. My father, a man of six-foot-four, drove his squat Mini Minor along dirt roads, through wild reserves and over river crossings thick with crocodiles; he told the story, when we were children, of how he and his friend had startled officials at a remote border crossing which was – theoretically, at least – navigable**** only by four-wheel drive . . .

Text 1 (continued)
The pair had reached Kilimanjaro, and had indeed reached its summit in their miners’ boots. Now here I am, gazing out of an airplane window and imagining my father standing triumphant on that hazy peak. It’s appropriate that I should make my first sighting of this mountaintop now, for I’m on an adventure of my own, one fuelled in part by all those stories I heard while growing up.

Text 2 — Poem
Making Frittatas*for Rebecca
Ten years is a long timeand I have missed you.I thought of thisthis morning as I commenced makinga splendid (it turned out) frittata. You taught me how to do this. After ten years duringwhich I assumed you did not cook—time stopswhen we are absent—you stood in my kitchen and casually, speaking of something trivial, made the most mouthwatering frittata. It did not stick, did not burn, it was not soggy on top it was good!During those same ten yearsI tried to make frittatas but feared they’d never cookall the way through; all the way to the top.But no, watching you closely, I sawwhen yours threatened to remain a bit mushyyou calmly transferred it to the oven, which I thought would surely burn it. But—not!Out it came the perfect consistency.Delicious!I was in awe.And so, today, I think: it is all the simpletimes of sharing simple thingsthat we have missed. The mutual teaching and learning that is, or should be, a daughter’s and a mother’s right.

Text 3 — Fiction extract
The polar exploration vessel, Raven, sailed south from Hobart into the Antarctic Ocean.
Journal of Lieutenant Downes15th April, 1922
Tom Irvine, one of the regular seamen and a crew member who has proven his worth on several occasions throughout the course of this voyage, disappeared last night, along with his mate Ernie Tockson. They were last seen by Danny Carston when he woke them both for watch at 0300, and Danny said that they seemed in comparatively good spirits, commenting that the extra stove time which we had allowed ourselves last night had warmed the deck up considerably and they’d both slept like babies.
They then pulled on their gear, climbed onto the deck, and neither has been seen since. A search of the ship and surrounding ice was organised and took up most of the day, but proved no more successful than any of our other searches.
Naturally, this has caused a good deal of consternation*, especially following on from yesterday’s inexplicable discovery of the footprints. Throughout the ship, men can be heard whispering to one another in urgent and often angry tones, and many of the men are refusing to make eye contact with me, or anybody else seen as being ‘in authority’. Dinner tonight was consumed by all aboard in thick, sullen silence, and then the men quickly went their own ways, turning in or disappearing out onto the ice in twos or threes for a last quick stroll around the ship and a smoke before lights out.
Strangely, Mr Rourke seemed oblivious to this change in the mood, and when I mentioned it, he appeared remarkably unconcerned, telling me that I shouldn’t bother myself with ‘matters out of your responsibility’, and that I should just ‘continue to watch each man like a hawk, because one of them is most certainly our saboteur**, and it is only a matter of time until . . . [ he] shows himself’.
Thus dismissed, I returned to my cabin and lay awake for several hours, the cold steel head of my ice axe a reassuring presence in the bunk beside me.
