The Last of the Nomads by W J Peasley

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minimal edgewear.

Warri and Yatungka were believed to be the last of the Mandildjara tribe of the Gibson Desert to live nomadically. Their deaths in the late 1970s marked the end of a tribal lifestyle that stretched back more than 30,000 years.

The Last of the Nomads tells of an extraordinary journey in search of Warri and Yatungka.
