Beyond Sustainability? Ecocide in South Australia's Desert Landscapes

Angela Keys, Oliver Villar, Drew Cottle

Research output: Book chapter/Published conference paper › Conference paper › peer-review

Abstract

Ecocide has been wrought upon South Australia's desert region, transforming it into an area now deemed by local Aborigines as poisoned country. The ravaged desert region stands today a vestige of Cold War militarism: the 'hideous blank' has been conquered. The concept of 'sustainability' has no relevance to this blighted landscape.
