Summary

"In 2002, Walkley Award-winning photojournalist Megan Lewis went to live with the Martu people - one of the last Indigenous groups in Australia?s vast Western Desert to come into contact with Europeans. Through this stunning collection of photographs and oral stories Conversations with the Mob captures the beauty, humour, sadness and friendship of a traditional Aboriginal tribe at odds with western culture." - product description
