Bøker av Campbell Macknight

This history of Australia's early contact with the world outside is consequently very different from the account commonly accepted up to now; even aboriginal art, so long regarded as wholly isolated from external influence, is shown by Dr Macknight to employ themes from overseas.

Northern Australia was once one the most remote areas of the world. Campbell Macknight outlines the history of the exploration and settlement of the coast from the Gulf of Carpentaria west to the Kimberleys. He suggests it is a geographical unit very different from the rest of Australia.
