Description
The Territory
Author: Ernestine Hill
Hard cover with dust jacket, fair condition. Some damage to dust jacket. 1955 edition.
The Territory by Ernestine Hill is a vivid and wide-ranging account of Australia's Northern Territory, capturing its remote landscapes, rich Indigenous cultures, colonial histories, and frontier spirit. First published in 1951, the book reflects Hill’s deep curiosity and journalistic eye, drawing from her extensive travels and personal encounters across the region. She portrays the harsh beauty of the land and the resilience of its inhabitants—both Aboriginal and settler—with a mix of admiration and critical observation. Interweaving anecdote, historical reflection, and travel narrative, Hill’s work stands as a significant contribution to Australian literature and a unique record of life in the Top End during the early to mid-20th century.
