AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The "Saltbush" narrative centres on the journey on foot of two friends (played by Deon and Anna) from different cultural backgrounds as they cross Australia. Their journey sees them cross diverse Indigenous countries - river country, an urban landscape, desert and the sea. The journey is one of discovering the land (country), growing an understanding and acknowledging how it challenges or provokes personal journeys." Source: www.carclew.com.au/ (Sighted 21/05/2009).
