Description

Outback by Thomas Keneally. With photographs by Gary Hansen and Mark Lang. 'Outback is the heart of Australia, the hinterland beyond the cities. Above all it is a magical place. For the Aboriginals - who have occupied central Australia for more than forty thousand years - it is a site of enormous sacred and mythological significance. For the non-Aboriginals it can be a place of madness and violence. Women are few and murders occur more frequently than anywhere else in Australia. Flood and cyclones alternate with terrifying heat but white Australians can also find solace there. In vivid character-sketches and anecdotes Thomas Keneally, who has known and loved the outback all his life, evoke a strange, harsh world where it seems that to compete with the climate and landscape everything and everybody is larger that life. Ex Library Book with all the usual stamps and markings. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
