Down Under All Over: Looking at Australia with new eyes
In 1967, at age 22, Barbara Brewster immigrated, solo, to Australia from America. In Down Under All Over she shares her love affair with the land and people.
To see Oz of the 1960’s – 1980’s through this lover’s eyes is not only to experience places, people, possibilities, anew.
This is also an adventurous woman’s journey of expansion, participation in and reverence for The Land and, particularly, its rural people. Down Under All Over inspires readers to their adventure and to wider, richer ways of seeing and being.
From the dolphins of Monkey Mia to the opal mines of Coober Pedy, from heroic farmers to meditating monks, readers of all ages will delight in the lyrical, perceptive descriptions of the place and people.
Down Under All Over shows a remarkable sense of love and perception for things Australian…
