A redback spider is a small insect but a very poisonous one. A Redback Boot is a soft boot but a very strong one. These boots have transported Oz Pilgrim to many a strange and holy place.
A new pair have been broken in for La Via Francigena in order, with the grace of God, to transport the Pilgrim to the tomb of Saint Peter in Rome.
The pilgrimage is dedicated to the unit of Radiation Oncology at Canberra Hospital.
