Out of the Desert - Stories from the Walmajarri Storytellers

Out of the Desert is a compelling collection of stories and art from the Walmajarri people of the Great Sandy Desert. It tells of their remarkable exodus from remote desert country to an unfamiliar modern society. Within only one generation these desert dwellers left their traditional places behind to face station life and a world far beyond the sandhills. These accounts of a recent past reveal the challenges of the epic journey north to station country, the courage of the Walmajarri in confronting the unknown, and their first contact with white people. - Winner of Western Australia Premier's Book Award for 'Best Non-Fiction'
