In the recent edition of Financial Times FT Series – The HTSI summer 2022 travel special, Maria Shollenbarger pens ‘Outback and beyond in Australia’, noting the dual identities of the country that are being understood in revelatory ways, from Sydney’s hottest food scene to Silky Oaks Lodge in The Daintree and Australia’s curiosity about First Nations wisdom.
“In place of dinner chatter, I listen to the rush of the Mossman River moving through metamorphic granite canyons to the Coral Sea. Instead of Range Rovers, kayaks list on the bank. To eat: sea almonds, collected on the beach with Juan Walker, a First Australian who guides the curious through Kuku Yalanji, his country. We sit on sawn-off logs, wet sand clinging to our feet.” – Maria Shollenbarger, Financial Times.
