The desert has a hypnotic presence in Australian culture, simultaneously alluring and repellent. The 'Centre' is distant and unknown to most Australians, yet has become a symbol of the country. This exciting book, highly illustrated in full colour, reveals the singular impact that the desert, both geographical and metaphorical, has had on Australian culture. At the heart of the book is the profound relationship that Aboriginal Australians have with the desert, and the complex ways in which they have been seen by white people in this context.

In a highly biodiverse part of Australia, the Kimberley conveys the excitement of discovering a new species, the resurgence of life in once fire-ravaged places, and the effect of humans on the landscape. This is the Kimberley at its most beautiful, from teeming bird life to elusive desert animals; from cascading waterfalls and tangled vine thickets to wide savannah plains. The book offers world-class photography, information on up-to-date scientific discoveries, and an in-depth understanding of the balance between flora, fauna, land, and sea. Featuring over 200 stunning images in full color, The Kimberley is well-written, accessible, and engaging.
