One of Australia's most respected Aboriginal people exposes the traditional terrain of Aboriginal Australia and reveals the lifestyles, history, art, and lore of the original Australians.

Burnum Burnum's Aboriginal Australia is the first book ever to offer a personal, Aboriginal vision of this, the world's greatest island.
Through over 300 stunning colour pictures and 150 black and white archival photographs, many of which have never been published before, and through the words of one of this country's best known and most respected Aboriginal people, this unique book takes the read on a journey around the continent, an unforgettable journey that reveals an Australia rarely experienced by white inhabitants.
Following Highway One, from Sydney north to Cairns, west to Darwin and south to Perth, then heading back to Sydney via the centre and Tasmania, Burnum Burnum guides us through lands that were once the traditional territory of many nations, clans and groups and opens our eyes to the lifestyles, history, art and lore of the original Australians.
