Description(s)
By the author: In 1971 Bali was unknown to most Australians and Ubud was a quiet country village thick with trees. There was little for visitors to buy and there was no electricity, no TV or radio. Live centred around daily work in the fields and religious festivals. Few spoke English. We were one of the first western families to being our children and to live in a village compound. It was a safe familier world where they were safe to wander as they chose. Our girls learned Balinese dance in the puri, we climbed an active volcano, taught at the university and discovered ancient ley lines. This unique collection of 200 of Hilary's contemporary black-and-white professional photographs show the beauty and simplicity of what has been lost. They deeply moved our Balinese friends when they saw them recently. John's 70 colour photos are of remarkable quality considering their age. Hilary shows the illusion behind the glamour of modern tourism. This book is rich with local history and the personalities of the people who created the image that Bali was a paradise.
