Epigraph:
If we can revise our attitudes towards the land under our feet; if we can accept a role of steward, and depart from the role of conqueror; if we can accept the view that man and nature are inseparable parts of the unified whole - then Tasmania can be a shining beacon in a dull, uniform, and largely artificial world.
-Olga Truchanas, 1971
Direct your eye right inward, and you'll find
A thousand regions in your mind
Yet undiscovered. Travel them, and be
Expert in home-cosmography.
- William Habington, 'To My Honored Friend Sir Ed. P. Knight',
in Walden by Henry David Thoreau
'A subtle and engaging memoir about returning home and reconnecting with the earth, by Tasmanian journalist turned providore, Hilary Burden.'
