First sentence: "The Colo Wildereness is one of the places we can blame for the big country mystique that still affects the attitudes and thinking of many Australians. Driving along Bells Line or the Putty Road they see the lines of forested, blue ridges receding to the horizon; this is anonymous country, the wild bit of bush without an identity, never visited, but always out there."
Description: Account of the geology, botany, wildlife, Aboriginal and European history of the Colo Wilderness, a large tract of sandstone plateau country north-west of Sydney. Numerous black and white photographs by Henry Gold. The book was produced and published by Prineas and Gold in 1978 as part of a public campaign to protect this wilderness area, the largest in New South Wales. The Wollemi National Park , including the Colo Wilderness, was announced by the State Government the following year.
