The Top End of Down Under

Thunderhead Publishing, Cairns, 1999. Reprint. Hardcover. As New/As New. The Top End of Down Under provides a visual into an area of Australia which has unique beauty and diversity, while at the same time is relatively inknown to many Australians. The great significance of Kakadu National Park will become apparent, as will the understanding of why it is a World Heritage area. Dominating the whole of the Top End is its unusual and intense climate. After four months of endless blue skies, enormous billowing thunderstorms roll through the Top End with increasing regularity, producing intense rainfall and providing incredibly spectacular lightning displays. With some 90 thunderways a year, Darwin is the most lightning prone place in Australia. Reaching to the very limits of Earth's weather producing atmosphere, these cloud mountains of the Top End possess shape and form uniravelled anywhere.The photographs in this book are truly unique and outstanding. Peter Jarver's powerful yet sensitive images portray a region of Australia in a way never seen before - through the landscape and the skyscape. 120 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
