This expansive two-volume set presents a richly illustrated cultural and environmental history of Australias outback, edited by Sheena Coupe and published by Weldon Russell in 1994. Drawing on archival sources, oral histories, and expert commentary, the work chronicles Indigenous heritage, European exploration, pastoral expansion, and the enduring mythology of frontier life. It documents the transformation of remote landscapes through agriculture, mining, and settlement, while illustrating the social, economic, and ecological forces that shaped outback identity. Photographs, maps, and historical reproductions anchor the narrative in visual authenticity, offering readers both scholarly insight and aesthetic engagement.
