AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'From the coast to the outback, from cities to plains, from dramatic gorges to rugged alpine peaks, from deserts to rainforests ... Australia is a continent of many and varied landscapes.
'Each of them is dramatic and all inspire awe and reverence. In this glorious book, Aboriginal artist Bronwyn Bancroft explores both the country and her feelings for it.' (From the publisher's website.)
