Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly to tail edge and at spine top and tail. Book exchange stamp on inside page, otherwise interior is still very good. Dust jacket is also in good condition with creasing at edges. Tear to top back cover is now protected with book tape.

Outback is the heart of Australia, the hinterland, beyond the cities and as foreign to many Australians as it is to Europeans and Americans. It is a vast area with Darwin as its capital.

In vivid character sketches and anecdotes, Thomas Keneally evokes a strange, harsh world where, seemingly to compete with the climate and landscape, everything and everybody is larger than life.
