By Gib Wettenhall & Alison Pouliot
STANDARD & LIMITED EDITIONS BOTH REDUCED BY 40% – $49.99 (Standard) & $69.99 (Limited)
For more information www.gariwerd.com
This high quality, large format book of 95 lyrical photographic images and five challenging essays pays homage to the Grampians, or Gariwerd – to give back the land its older, indigenous name. The Gariwerd/Grampians National Park has deservedly gained fame as a refuge for an extraordinary ark of wildflowers set among spectacular natural rock gardens.
Alison's photos form a unique record as they were taken prior to the first of the two big burns that have swept through the park since 2007.
Together, the images and essays reflect on how we might explore, appreciate and enrich our reading of this lone jewel – a landscape like no other on this most unique of continents. The book has a Foreword by the former Governor of Victoria, John Landy and was published in 2006.
Limited edition
The Limited edition has a print run of only 500 and is printed on the highest quality A1 paper. Photos are further illuminated by spot varnish. The Limited edition is presented in a slipcase.

About the authors
Landscape photographer and ecologist Alison Pouliot tramped over peak and range photographing Gariwerd in all seasons for two years. Her evocative images capture the ranges’ combination of fabulous landscape vistas and intimate detail.
Writer Gib Wettenhall’s family settled to the north and south of the Grampians in the early days of settlement. He specialises in cultural landscapes and his essays fuse Aboriginal and European perspectives. Designer Max Marks presents the images as art works.
Publication was assisted by a grant from the Royal Mail Hotel, Dunkeld, Victoria.
