Duration: 60 minutes
You’d be barking not to tree-t yourself to the exquisite nature writing of David Witty, who imbues this study of Australian flora with Proustian reverie. Bringing bygone forests to vivid life, Witty explores the history of Australian trees, uprooting our perception of the relationship between human beings and our environment.
