Sadly, other photographs are poorly focused and poorly captioned. This may give the book an appropriately unpretentious, outback Australian look, but it may also prevent the book from attracting a wider readership. Which is a pity, because Beth's story is a unique and valuable part of Australia's social history. And city-dwellers, like me, who take modern services, buildings, amenities and fast, easy electronic communication for granted, do need to be reminded that there has been, and still is, another sort of life in outback Australian, which is closer to nature and not so easy.
