'The following analysis of the Australian Outback as an imagined space is
informed by theories describing a separation from the objective physical world and the
mapping of its representative double through language, and draws upon a reading of the
function of landscape in three fictions; Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness
(1899), Greg Mclean's 2005 horror film Wolf Creek and Ted Kotcheff's 1971 cinematic
adaptation of Kenneth Cook's novel Wake in Fright
. I would like to consider the
Outback as a culturally produced text, and compare the function of this landscape as a
cultural 'reality' to the function of landscape in literary and cinematic fiction.' (Author's abstract)
