This is an extraordinary 1997 collection of essays about landscape.
With a lively and engaging style, George Seddon considers
everything from creating a garden in Freemantle, to locating
ancient plants while wandering in a far North Queensland rainforest
to analysing the geological features on either side of the tram
tracks in Collingwood. Yet while the book celebrates Australia, and
covers many topics that seem familiar and everyday, it is
challenging and provocative. Seddon is acutely aware of the moral
and environmental aspects of history and is able to present local
and regional history on a grand scale. Landprints reflects a
lifetime devoted to questions about landscape: the ways we use and
abuse the land, how Australian landscapes are different from
European landscapes and how this land makes those who live on it
uniquely, if ambiguously, Australian.
