Sinossi
George Seddon portrays an area rich in myth and legend. He provides a view of the region as environmental history - linking successive behaviours towards Snowy lands with major events in Australian history, and interweaving natural history. He looks at the way the Snowy river and its topography have influenced patterns of settlement and, conversely, how humans have altered this landscape. "Searching for the Snowy" is not just a regional history of one of Australia's wilder environments - Seddon also questions our relationship with the land and analyzes the significance of this on the Australian national psyche. This book is a fusion of history, travelogue, anthropology, geology, hydrology and environmentalism.
