Description: Journey into the heart of Western Australia's arid interior with this compelling exploration of the Gascoyne, the state's longest river and one of nature's most fascinating paradoxes—a waterway that flows beneath the sand for much of the year. From its ancient geological origins and the enduring custodianship of Aboriginal peoples, to the surprising oasis of Carnarvon and its thriving banana plantations, this book traces the many lives of a river that defies expectations. Rich with stories of exploration, unique desert ecology, and the shifting realities of climate, it offers a vivid portrait of a landscape shaped by water both seen and unseen.
