In the far north of Australia, the oldest continent on Earth, lies the region that is home to one of the world's longest surviving cultures: Arnhem Land. The people, who have lived here for over 50,000 years, are members of more than 100 Aboriginal clans that comprise more than 60 language groups.
This book is a perceptive insight into the lives of the people of Arnhem Land striving to maintain their heritage and traditional life in a modern world. This unique and powerful photographic essay reveals the outstanding beauty of Arnhem Land and the richness of the Aboriginal culture.
Not just a history of Arnhem Land, the book also presents the inside story of the Arnhem Landers, who are intimately linked to their land. From the strength and importance of this connection arises the determination of Aboriginal people to preserve their traditions and land for future generations. It celebrates their spirit and continuing culture.
