[Aranka · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a picture book that displays Central Australia wonders. Many places feature magnificent rocks and canyons that resembles Yellow Stone National Park. Alice Springs seemed the only civilised centre among the vast lands of wilderness, but most of attractions seem so faraway from it. For a high-level view, turn to the last page for the map where main locations are marked. Some impressive details:
- Sturt's desert roses, emblem of Northern territory
- Reedy Waterhole, good place to swim
- Ayers Rock, a standalone lump covered with different colours through different times of day
- Chamber Pillar, "loneliness and grandeur - clothed in white sandstone, mystical and wonderful".
