Synopsis
The "other" Australia is a little-known world. Photojournalist Bill Bachman has roamed the faraway places of Australia exploring the half-forgotten expanses that exist in reality as well as national myth. His photographs and the text he weaves around them blend fact with anecdote, history and humour. The book explores themes ranging from the topography of faces, and the special place of corrugated iron in Australian culture, to the bogus glamour of the stockman's life. He celebrates the open road, redefines the romance of the swag, muses on the unwritten history of wayside junk, and marvels at the outback sky.
