" Isolated, rugged and surpassingly beautiful, South-West Tasmania has survived into the latter half of the twentieth century as one of the world's last great regions of temperate wilderness. Above me only Sky is a study of that wilderness: a synthesis of words and photographs that take us through its forests, failures, storms and snows, its coastlines and remotest mountain tops -- and bear witness to the rapid destruction of this region by the massive hydro-electric and forestry developments of the last two decades." -- from the front fold over panel.
