| Comments |
Although the essays in this collection do not refer directly to the McKimmie films mentioned above, the essays certainly discuss the issues of land and identity (ie Australian) that Australian films often try to represent and/or question.
George Seddon is currently (1997) an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Australian literature at the University of Western Australia, and Emeritus Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Melbourne. |
| Synopsis |
Landprints is a collection of essays which reflects a lifetime devoted to questions of landscape. With an engaging style, Seddon considers everything from creating a garden in Fremantle, to locating ancient plants in a Far North Queensland rainforest, to analysing the geology of Collingwood.
Seddon examines how land is used and abused, how Australian landscapes are different from European landscapes and how this land makes those who live on it uniquely, if ambiguously, Australian.
