Her December 1993 walkabout. The author shared the life of a tribe of aborigines (62 strong).
Chapter 22, My Oath. They visit a Sacred Site; few now belong to the people.
Re: Ayers Rock, that once was Uluru and "is now available to tourists, who climb it like ants, then return to their excursion bus to spend the remainder of the day floating in the chlorinated antiseptic swimming pools of the nearby motels."
The authority that runs the national park that includes Ayers Rock decreed that there would be no more climbing as of 2019 (The Age, Melbourne, 2 November 2017).
The book includes some nice drawings but no index, photos, or map. The reason for the latter omission is explained as protecting the privacy of the people who generously hosted this American.
