Abstract

For seventy years after federation, Australians fretted over the "empty north" of their continent. This book explains why they were worried and how their anxieties about Australia's tropical regions shaped the self-image of the nation. It offers a timely and compelling account of environmental misgivings that still run through debates about Australia's north.
