Ken Duncan spent five years travelling remote and familiar parts of Australia to take the extraordinary photographs of this collection. Driving a battered four-wheel drive, he survived adventures from hypothermia in Tasmania to crocodiles in the Northern Territory to shoot the thousands of photographs from which this book is selected.
Ken Duncan flew over mobs of cattle in a Queensland helicopter muster, entered ancient painting caves in the Kimberley with an Aboriginal guide, stumbled across shipwrecks on the wild coast of South Australia and yarned with the locals in outback pubs. The results are the photographs of Australia wide - an original view of a restless and sometimes overwhelming continent.
Ken Duncan's unique photographic vision is ably complemented by the sensitive and evocative text of Anna-Maria Dell'oso to create a totally new perspective on Australia, The Last Frontier.
