The bush

The bush explores our enduring fascination with all things rural in a magnificent volume full of spectacular images. It takes a look at life on the land from the earliest days of clearing and settlement to today's sophisticated agricultural and primary industries. It also paints a full picture of the everyday life in the outback, including work and play, animals and machines, regional towns and remote stations. And it describes the challenges ahead posed by drought, bushfire, climate change and the inexorable pull from country to city. Above all it pays tribute to the energy and indomitable spirit of country people.
