Wilderness landscape


Celebrating wilderness edited by Ian Brown
Is a coffee table style book which combines essays by some of the most eloquent wilderness writers and activists with stunning photographs from all over Australia. The content ranges across a wide landscape from the tropical north to the South Pole. It illuminates the place of wilderness in Australia and builds a passionate case for saving the last of Australia’s wild lands.
I've included a few of the wonderful colour plates from the book
