DISCOVERING OZ by Wendy James
Horrendous bushfires in Australia in 2019 focused attention on the effects of climate change on this vast continent. After many years living abroad, journalist Wendy James returns to her homeland and looks at it and her life there with new eyes. She travels to all seven states, appreciating the country's unique wildlife and natural wonders and the extraordinary art of its Aboriginal population. Memories of her growing-up years combine with history and geography to complete a picture of what she believes is 'the most amazing island in the world'. Travel with her on her journey of discovery, relishing the delights and finding out about the existential threats and problems 'the lucky country' faces.
