Description

An insight into the reality of life in the Centre, from the MacDonnell Ranges and the textures and sounds of Arrernte culture, to the endemic violence, alcoholism and ill-health that are devastating Aboriginal lives. Illustrated with Rod Moss's evocative paintings and photographs, this is an artist's chronicle of the moments that have inspired him.
