“Wilderness has been defined as ‘a large tract of primitive country with its lands and waters and its native plants and animal life substantially unmodified by humans and their works’. This book pays tribute to such areas. It also pays tribute to wilderness as seen by people who do not realise that the land they live in would be regarded as wilderness by newcomers (Aboriginal people had kindled their fires across the Top End of Australia for thousands of years before Europeans marvelled at this ‘untouched’ country). And finally, it pays tribute to the human heart’s ability to perceive ‘wilderness’ even though it is surrounded by well-trodden tracks.”
