Walkabout : Seeking the Silenced Voice, Alexis Wright , single work review
— Review of Walkabout Louis Nowra , 2003 single work criticism ;

He tells how the film was made and how its preoccupations fit into the oeuvre of director and cinematographer Nicolas Roeg and screenwriter Edward Bond.

He recognises the film’s relevance to the contemporary struggle to find common ground between blacks and whites. ...'
