HIGH LEAN COUNTRY

Land, People and Memory In New England

High Lean Country captures the rich history and haunting character of the New England region of northern New South Wales.

They also consider how the high country itself has shaped its people and their sense of regional uniqueness. In doing so, this book sets a new direction for understanding Australia as a whole
