AUSTRALIANA LANDSCAPE ABORIGINAL
The voices that speak to us from this book belong to ordinary Australians living in rural and remote areas. They talk with wisdom and passion about the land-our land.” Each storyteller knows intimately the particular beauty and complexity of his or her country. All despair about the terrible damage done by hardworking settlers who did not understand the fragility of this ancient land. All are working at practical ways of balancing our modern economic needs with our vulnerable environment.” “Listen to the People, Listen to the Land uses marvelous photographs to locate these authentic country voices, both settler and Aboriginal, in their own land.
They talk with wisdom and passion about the land – our land. The storytellers are pastoralists and graziers, opal miners, environmentalists, city people, Aboriginal men and women.
