Andrew McMillan’s An Intruder’s Guide To East Arnhem Land is part history, part journalism, part literature, part love story with a people and a place. The writing is both edgy and contemporary; a narrative of history in remote Australia where the echoes of the past continue to resonate with us today. Passionate, sensitive, witty and surprising, this book will give you a sense of Australia and national identity you have never known before.

Arnhem Land: where the first (or even second or third) language is not English and you need to ask permission before travelling across country; where you have to demonstrate respect and observation of the laws of the land and its peoples but none of it is written down.

Andrew McMillan has spent decades visiting Arnhem Land, meeting, talking but mainly listening to people in a place that few outsiders visit. This book offers a unique insight.

Its 1986, Midnight Oil and the Warrumpi Band hit the road for a 6 week tour through some of the remotest communites in the Australian outback. An aspiring music journalist hitches a ride, ostensibly to sell cassettes and T-shirts. Strct Rules: The Blackfella-Whitefella Tour is the story of that trip.

“In the Western Desert of Australia the land takes hostages. Freedom is regained slowly, often imperceptibly: vanities must be shed, wisdom must be drawn, humility learned. Time moves forward, but only in grinding tectonic shifts, unnoticed by squinting intruders with too much noise in their heads.

Twenty-two years ago the young men in Midnight Oil were held hostage by the land. It was only for four weeks, but none of us was ever the same again.”

Midnight Oil drummer and songwriter, Rob Hirst
