Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Light foxing to top foredges, top half-title page and top last page.

Photographer Melissa McCord spent over two years and travelled 70,000 km to document the lives of outback women.

In a series of interviews spanning from the Pilbara to the Gulf Country, from the Gacoyne to the Central Burnett, the women Melissa McCord met and photographed share their stories and discuss what living, working, and surviving in the outback means to them. Despite hardship and struggle, their courage and resourcefulness speak for themselves. (back cover)
