DREAM ROAD

A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY

Percy Trezise

Published by

Allen & Unwin

ISBN 1 86373 403 1 Pages 205 Weight 670 gms

A unique insight into Aboriginal culture, legends and rock art

"Dream Road is the definitive work on the Quinkin art body - one of the largest and most spectacular groups of rock paintings in the world. Covering the caves and cliffs of Cape York peninsula, the paintings range in age from 5000 to over 13,000 years."

"In this intimate and engrossing account, one of the world's leading experts on Australian rock art recounts the history and the significance of the paintings he rediscovered over a period of many years. When Percy Trezise began his investigation he was joined by his friend the artist Dick Roughsey, a member of the Lardil tribe on Mornington island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Through his long and close association with Roughsey and his people, Trezise learnt about the culture and history of rock artists. He was able to link the paintings with the legends behind them, making his study more thorough and complete than any work previously undertaken by a European on this subject."

"Beautifully illustrated and written in an engaging and accessible style, Dream Road is a journey of discovery which helps to shatter the myth of terra nullius and to prove that Aboriginal people have lived here far longer than previously estimated. It will be essential reading for all who are interested in the heritage of Australian art and culture."

I am selling my personal library/research books that I no longer need or use, I am not doing it as a business, rather so that all the resources I have can be of benefit to others (as they have been to me). If I can sell them and recoup some of their cost - well that is a bonus, especially when I'm looking at retirement and know the money will come in useful. Have a look at my other sales, or email me if you are looking for anything specific to do with Aboriginal History, Art or Culture.

Thank you for looking
