Grunewald Olivier; Gilbertas Bernadette
Australia. L'isola continente
ill., ril. Verdi foreste intrise di pioggia, deserti di sabbie rosse, monoliti di grès, roventi aridità nel cuore di un continente costellato d'oasi, lagune color turchese e nevi eterne... l'Australia offre un'infinita varietà di paesaggi e una straordinaria biodiversità che fanno del più vecchio continente del pianeta una specie di laboratorio dell'evoluzione. "Sarebbe possibile -ci siamo chiesti - far vedere con la fotografia l'universo poetico contenuto nella cosmogonia aborigena e mostrare in qual modo la bellezza e la magia dei paesaggi si siano imposti ai nativi come il fondamento stesso della loro mitologia e degli intensi rapporti che li legano alla loro terra?". Il fotografo Olivier Grunewald firma questo album in collaborazione con la geomorfologa Bernadette Gilbertas, dopo una peregrinazione durata otto mesi attraverso le terre selvagge dell'Australia.

Gusmeri Francesco
Prendo la bici e vado in Australia. Da Brescia a Melbourne alla ricerca della felicità
ill., br. Un "viaggio della vita" sognato per quasi cinque anni; un'idea che non è rimasta sulla carta ma si è concretizzata in un lungo balzo verso oriente di quasi 30.000 chilometri. Sarà il viaggiare in sé e non raggiungere la meta, Melbourne, a dare sollievo a Francesco Gusmeri, giovane cicloviaggiatore in cerca di una serenità che solo la strada potrà regalargli. Insieme a lui saliremo in piedi sui pedali lottando contro le salite turche e la neve del Pamir, gesticoleremo tentando di farci capire da burbere o losche guardie di frontiera, supereremo i 7690 chilometri di strade cinesi passando dal deserto alla giungla tropicale, arriveremo infine in Australia dove accarezzeremo un'idea ancora più folle di quella di essere partiti: restare all'altro capo del mondo per non tornare più. La bicicletta ancora una volta si rivela così strumento di diserzione e conoscenza.
