Marcia Langton: Welcome to Country 2nd edition
Fully Revised and Expanded, A Travel Guide to Indigenous Australia
Marcia Langton

The second edition of this landmark travel guide, written by one of this country's most highly respected First Nations voices.

'Marcia Langton: Welcome to Country 2nd edition' is the essential follow-up to Australia’s landmark travel guide to Indigenous Australia, Welcome to Country.

In this extensively updated edition, Marcia Langton offers a full range of Indigenous-owned or -operated tourism experiences across Australia, including an expanded directory with 250 new listings, illustrated maps, and photography by Wayne Quilliam.

Australia is home to the longest continuing culture on Earth, and 'Welcome to Country 2nd edition' highlights myriad ways to engage and deepen our knowledge and appreciation of the First peoples through travel. Everything from arts centres to tours is covered in this guide, and there are also fascinating insights into Indigenous cultures and histories, as well as etiquette for visitors.

This guide also addresses the events and issues facing Australia today, such as as Native Title, the Stolen Generations, the 2020 bushfires, the Black Lives Matter movement, and making a rightful place in the nation for the First Australians.

'Welcome to Country' was the first book of its kind and this updated edition, brought together by a highly respected First Nations scholar and author, is a must-have for every Australian home.
