Beyond Reasonable Drought (Paperback)

‘In this book you can smell the drought. You can smell the rain. You can smell the charred trees after the February 7 bushfires. You can go into the backyards of people and just see beautiful simple things that they love from the natural world.’
Martin Flanagan, The 7.30 Report
There has been nothing like it in living memory. Theories about cycles and seasons struggle to explain it. It is beyond reasonable drought.
Early this century, a group of photographers crisscrossed the nation, and captured a seismic shift in the way Australians were living their lives.
Caught in these photographer’s lenses were the faces and the stories of communities caught in this shift. People whose lives were being transformed as the rains over much of Australia’s bread basket and beyond stopped falling regularly and the land altered.
