The region is the North Flinders Range of South Australia, a vast and primitive landscape which retains much that has vanished from the modern world. In stark beauty and dreaming silence, the ancient hills preserve the wilderness solitude which offers escape from the pressures of city life. Yet this solitude is in danger as more and more people attempt to find it, and by their presence destroy the very thing that they seek. The creators of this book show a deep concern for the area which they describe, and a fear that its unique character may vanish under the impact of tourism. Mike McKelvey?s photographs capture many aspects of the Ranges, from minute details which nevertheless have great significance to panoramas in which one feels the space and silence of the Flinders.* A VG copy with some minor faults.*
