Capricornia

A Saga Of Life In The Northern Territories And The Clash Of White And Aborigine Cultures One Of Australias All-time Best-selling Novels And An Inspiration For Baz Luhrmanns Lavish Film Australia. Capricornia Has Been Described As One Of Australias 'great Novels', A Sharply Observed Chronicle About Life In The Northern Territory Of Australia And The Inhumane Treatment Suffered By Aborigines At The Hands Of White Men. The Story Is Immense And Rambling, Laced With Humour That Is Often As Bitter And As Harsh As The Terrain In Which It Is Set, And Follows With Irony The Fortunes (and Otherwise) Of A Range Of Outback Characters Over A Span Of Generations.
