Inland Sea is a work which addresses, close up, the intricate wonder, the fragility and adaptation of the unique Australian environment. It speaks to the enduring strength of our Aboriginal culture and of the people bound to protect 'Country' against the continuing threats of colonial exploitation.

But it also has the power to "blow raw dust into a heaving sky". This is poetry as "first music, singing an ancient land", singing irreplaceable joy!' - Phillip Hall
