In 2007, nearly 70 Aboriginal artists traveled through the Canning Stock Route—a track in Western Australia along which cattle could be driven from Kimberley stations in the north to markets in the south—to return to places they had left as children, reconnect with family, or reclaim histories. This collection is the result of this journey, and it includes these artists’ magnificent works of art and absorbing narratives. From the Aboriginal perspective, this colorful book relates the story of the stock route's impact and the importance of the country around it.
