The Australian bush through urban eyes

The Australian bush through urban eyes

"For the best part of a year, Monte Dwyer travelled the country sourcing stories for broadcast on Charles Wooley's radio program, Across Australia. From drought to flooding rains, through changing seasons and federal governments he talked to many hundreds of people about life in the bush and recorded their stories." "With surprisingly deft touch he has embroidered these stories with recollections and perceptions of his own, and woven this beautiful patchwork-quilt of a book about Australia and its people." "Red in the Centre is undoubtedly an Australian journey, yet to dismiss it as an Australiana travelogue would be to call Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea a fishing book." "This is a well-written, almost voyeuristic look at what Australians are doing out there in the bush when nobody's looking, by a man who like to watch."--Back cover.
