Inexperienced long-distance bushwalkers, Michael\u0026amp;nbsp;and Tom learned en route as they traversed hot, rainy,\u0026amp;nbsp;snow-covered, and bushfire-blackened terrain. Alongside\u0026amp;nbsp;Michael's haunting, dramatic photographs, and Tom's\u0026amp;nbsp;delicately observed watercolours and drawings are stories\u0026amp;nbsp;of each walk, interweaving history with anecdote, humour\u0026amp;nbsp;with observation. Seven Walks is the companion book to\u0026amp;nbsp;their adventures and captures the feeling of heading out\u0026amp;nbsp;on foot along a narrow track, into a beautiful landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Tom Carment's writing, like his art, seduces quietly: austere,\u0026amp;nbsp;highly articulate, always fresh, with a dry sense of the absurd.\u0026amp;nbsp;In this calm, modest register he commands great territories.'\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003eHelen Garner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's more information and stunning page spreads available on the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.sevenwalks.com\/#!chapter-3\/c1e8n\"\u003eSeven Walks website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom\u0026amp;nbsp;Carment's work is on show at\u0026amp;nbsp;the Art Gallery of NSW (as part of\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au\/media-office\/dobell-australian-drawing-biennial\/\"\u003eDrawing Out: Dobell Australian Drawing Biennial 2014\u003c\/a\u003e) until Monday January 26\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead more about Tom's work in these wonderful reviews in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/entertainment\/books\/tom-carment-paints-australia-on-the-move-20141212-125ddq.html\"\u003eThe Sydney Morning Herald\u003c\/a\u003e\u0026amp;nbsp;and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebrag.com\/arts\/tom-carment-exhibits-artwork-alongside-book-release\"\u003eThe Bragg\u003c\/a\u003e, or listen to the podcast of Tom talking to Geraldine Doogue on \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au%20adionational\/programs\/saturdayextra\/seven-wild-walks-around-australia\/5970776\"\u003eABC Radio National\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46819965337758,"sku":"ADS-9780992286415","price":69.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780992286415.jpg?v=1778467111","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780992286415","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
