Historian, writer, philosopher and artist, Paul Carter maps Victoria's Mallee region by exploring the visible and invisible aspects of place. Using the region as an example, Carter explores and analyses literature, art, oral history, the historical record as well as his own research. The result is a pastiche of complex understanding that brings to life the Mallee area and presents it in the past, present and future. Ground Truthing offers a unique take on natural history, mapping and urban planning.
