[B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stunning depictions and descriptions of the landscape, especially the blue gum trees, Uluru, Twelve Apostles, Karinji, and the Tom Price Mine. Reads a bit too friendly to extractive industries, as the artistic reflections -- and indeed the paintings themselves -- seem to say, "Oh, isn't it problematic that we're ruining this beautiful landscape. Oh well." Just bizarre.
