- Book Synopsis
- Marcia Langton: Welcome to Country 2nd edition is the essential follow-up to Australia's landmark travel guide to Indigenous Australia, Welcome to Country. In this extensively updated edition, Marcia Langton offers a full range of Indigenous-owned or -operated tourism experiences across Australia, including an expanded directory with more than 400 new listings, illustrated maps, and photography by Wayne Quilliam. Australia is home to the longest continuing culture on Earth, and Welcome to Country 2nd edition highlights myriad ways to engage and deepen our knowledge and appreciation of the First peoples through travel. Everything from arts centres to tours is covered in this guide, and there are also fascinating insights into Indigenous cultures and histories, as well as etiquette for visitors. This guide also addresses the events and issues facing Australia today, such as the 2020 bushfires, the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the Black Lives Matter movement, the destruction of Juukan Gorge and the coronavirus pandemic's effects on travel. Welcome to Country was the first book of its kind and this updated edition, brought together by a highly respected First Nations scholar and author, is a must-have for every Australian home.
