Outback is the heart of Australia, the hinterland beyond the cities. Above all it is a magical place. For the aboriginals - who have occupied central Australia for more than forty thousand years - it is a site of enormous sacred and mythological significance. For non-aboriginals it can be a place of madness and violence.In vivid character-sketches and anecdotes Thomas Keneally, who has known and loved the outback all his life, evokes a strange, harsh world where everything and everybody is larger than life.
