Description:
Willemsen's pen and Verhoeff's camera reveal a new world in seven stories, plus an epilogue and 59 colour photographs. In March and April 2000, August Willemsen and Bert Verhoeff made seven reports on subjects they considered typically Australian and which deviated from standard themes such as beaches, surfing, koalas, kangaroos and Ayers' Rock. In "From Tibooburra to Packsaddle" they describe and photograph the backpackers who visit this country in droves; the endless train journey through the Nullarbor Desert to Perth; the 'outback', where what we call civilisation ends; the strange game called 'football' but is not football; the Olympic Games and the tragic history of the aborigines; and 'Australian ugliness'. In a fascinating way, Willemsen and Verhoeff reveal the hidden corners of an enormous country that continues to surprise.
