Book Outback by Thomas Keneally
$20
Outback is the heart of Australia, the hinterland, beyond the cities and as foreign to most Australians as it is to Europeans or Americans. It is a vast area with Darwin its capital, sparsely inhabited, much of it desert but by no means empty.
In vivid character-sketches and anecdotes Thomas Keneally who has known and loved the outback all his life evokes a strange, harsh world where seemingly to compete with the climate and landscape everything and everybody is larger than life.
Above all the outback is a magic place. Only the Aboriginals can not be said to be immigrants, having occupied central Australia for more than forty thousand years. Their spiritual life is enriched by their mythology of ‘the Dreaming’. For them, central Australia is a complex network of tracks – Dreaming trails – leading to sites of enormous sacred significance. Hardcover with dust jacket, ex library, 256 pages, indexed.
