First published 1998
Tim Winton turns his lens toward Australia's vast interior, documenting both landscape and inhabitants through a collection of vivid color photography. The book presents 331 photographs that reveal the character of remote Australian territories, from red dirt expanses to small outback communities. Winton pairs these images with his own commentary, offering insights shaped by his deep connection to the continent. The photographs range from sweeping vistas of untamed country to intimate portraits of the people who call these isolated places home. Winton's text provides context and reflection, drawing on his understanding of Australian life beyond the coastal cities. The book captures the tension between harsh beauty and human resilience that defines much of the continent's interior.
