An enthralling journey, showcasing Watson's trademark literary gift and sardonic wit, through the Australian landscape and character.

But what do we mean by 'the bush', and how has it shaped us?

In Loving Country, co-authors Bruce Pascoe and Vicky Shukurolgou show travellers how to see the country as herself, to know her whole and old story and to find the way to fall in love with her, our home. Listeners are encouraged to discover sacred Australia by reconsidering the accepted history and hearing diverse stories of her Indigenous people. The intention of this audiobook is to foster communication and understanding between all peoples and country, to encourage environmental and social change.
