'Real Dirt is James Woodford's story, the story of how he came to find a piece of land to connect to, to live on and to regenerate not just the land but his life, too. It's the story of his journey from young adventurer, to greenie, to newspaper journalist and environment writer, to father, and to an understanding of Australia, it's land and it's indigenous people. And it's the story of how a house and a way of life could be built to be environmentally sustainable, comfortable, enriching, exciting and real.' Libraries Australia record
