Description

This photographic picture book captures a rare and precious journey through the deserts of Australia, taken over several days alongside an Aboriginal family who served as guides, all in pursuit of photographing the uniquely-behaved honey ant (Mitsutsuboari).

Set against the striking landscapes found nowhere else on Earth, the journey features captivating scenes: encounters with animals like wallabies and large lizards, towering termite mounds, ancient cave paintings of honey ants created by Aboriginal ancestors, and a traditional Aboriginal dance performed in gratitude for receiving honey from the ants.

With breathtaking photos of the honey ant—the very goal of the journey—this book also leaves a lasting impression by portraying the Aboriginal people's deep and respectful way of living in harmony with nature.
