Description
Forest Family highlights the importance of the old-growth forests of Southwest Australia to art, culture, history, politics, and community identity.

The contributors critique a range of content including historical documents, music, novels, paintings, performances, photography, poetry, and sculpture representing ancient Australian forests. Forest Family centers on the relationship between old-growth nature and human culture through the narrative strand of the Giblett family of Western Australia and the forests in which they settled during the nineteenth century.
