Another Country, , The Travellers Bookstore, Melbourne, Australia

For several years now, Nicolas Rothwell has travelled the length and breadth of Northern and Central Australia. This book tells the story of desert journeys and encounters with mystics and artists, explorers and healers. It also gathers together Rothwell's groundbreaking pieces on Aboriginal art and society, and on Darwin and the lure of the North. Another Country is a portrait of people and places. It is also a literary achievement - a mesmerising, many-faceted journey into another Australia.
