WINNER OF 2021 NSW PREMIER'S HISTORY AWARD

On this ancient continent, waves of people have made their mark on the landscape; in turn, it too has shaped them.

If we look afresh at our history through the land we live on, might Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians find a path to a shared future?

An epic exploration of our relationship with this country, Landscapes of Our Hearts takes us from the Great Barrier Reef to the Central Desert, the High Country to Canberra's Limestone Plains. It is a book of hope and offers the possibility that a renewed connection to the landscape and to each other could pave the way towards reconciliation.

It will change the way you see this land.

Reviews for Landscapes of Our Hearts: Reconciling People and Environment

... a deeply ethical work. It is humble, engaging, informative and written with respect for the many Indigenous nations that have worked with Country rather than against it... -- Tony Birch * The Age * ... a quiet book, but it's quietly radical in its pragmatic hopefulness; its belief in personal agency ... not an elegy, it's a call to action: do not go gently into the Anthropocene. -- Beejay Silcox * The Australian * Evocative and touching book ... Full of recommendations about the next step. -- Phillip Adams * Late Night Live *
