Historian Bill Garner recalls thatAustralia was first settled as a campsite, and that though the Europeans brought tents, they hardly invented theconcept of camping—the Aborigines had been camping for millennia prior. He examines how camping has helpednurture some of the most widely held values in Australia: egalitarianism, tolerance, and the premium placed onpracticability. As it connects holiday camping to the whole story of Australian settlement and the ancient waysof making a home on that remote continent, this beautifully written and illustrated book encourages readers toexamine their own histories of camping and observe how their family stories and the national story are entwined.Author BioBill Garner is an award-winning historian, screenwriter, and playwright, as well as an avid camper.
