Description

One wet and blooming spring William J. Lines and an American companion undertook a 400-mile walk along the Bibbulmun trail in southwestern Australia. This fascinating chronicle of the journey reveals at a close distance the devastation of the great temperate eucalypt forests while interweaving stories about trees, forestry, mining, science, economics, conservation and language, converging on the themes of nature, reality, objectivity and understanding. With passion and immediacy, A Long Walk in the Australian Bush draws connections between the history, use and abuse of Western Australia's forests and the use and abuse of the planet.
