Australia Landscape Photography Nature Photographers Wilderness Tasmania

Wild Rivers by Bob Brown pairs the senator’s crisp prose with Peter Dombrovskis’ celebrated wilderness photography to celebrate Tasmania’s untamed waterways. This 1983 Australian hardcover art book remains a sought-after collector’s piece for lovers of landscape photography and environmental heritage.

Thirty full-page colour plates capture the Franklin, Gordon and lesser-known tributaries in moods from mirror-calm to thundering rapid, while Brown’s concise essays trace the political and ecological journeys that saved them. The result is a coffee-table volume that doubles as a quiet call to protect wild places.

The dust-jacketed copy offered here is clean, tight and unmarked save for a faint edge mark on one leaf and minor scuffs; no inscriptions, ex-libris plates or smoke odour intrude. It presents beautifully on the shelf and turns smoothly in the hand, ideal for gifting or display.

Whether you’re completing a Dombrovskis collection, curating an Australiana library, or seeking nature photography inspiration, this gently used first edition delivers heritage and visual impact without the new-book price.
