The "other" Australia is a little-known world. This book explores the half-forgotten expanses as the photographs celebrate the sense of local colour which it possesses in abundance. The text blends anecdote, history and humour.
The "other" Australia is a little-known world. Photojournalist Bill Bachman has roamed the faraway places of Australia exploring the half-forgotten expanses that exist in reality as well as national myth. His photographs and the text he weaves around them blend fact with anecdote, history and humour. The book explores themes ranging from the topography of faces, and the special place of corrugated iron in Australian culture, to the bogus glamour of the stockman's life. He celebrates the open road, redefines the romance of the swag, muses on the unwritten history of wayside junk, and marvels at the outback sky.

Local colour; windows down and shirt open; worlds unto themselves; these are the hands; stories untold in a landscape of junk; they're racing at Landor; sky, like a sea above; Australia's iron curtain; faces are landscapes of their own; a rural rite of passage; the romance of the swag; dogs? they run the country; trees as men walking; they're racing at Flemington; light that blinds, light that blesses; living the life; a motley menagerie; cut-price miracles; the endless cycle.
