Road to Nitmiluk

Book Cover & Preview Text
We need to go a long way from the continent's populated southeastern corner to step into the outback and get through to the oases that the continent has preserved in unique isolation. It is always the unexpected which surprises us : land-formations, colours, special fauna and flora, dry creek-beds, hidden water reserves, incredible heat throughout summer and shivering cold on winter nights, bush fires, and bright, stinging sunshine from a cloudless sky. Then, when it rains after years, water takes over, regenerating life's cycles. Most of all. the absence of a dense human population is unexpected, with only sparse communities of Australia's indigenous Aborigines, the oldest cultural society on earth.
