em Press Publishing
The em PRESS book The People of Budj Bim has won the Overall Winner award at this year’s Victorian Community History Awards. Written in collaboration with the Indigenous Gunditjmara people of south-west Victoria, The People of Budj Bim, was acknowledged as “well-researched, and clearly presented” showing a “profound knowledge and understanding of the natural, cultural and historical… landscape.” It is aimed at tourists, tour leaders, school groups, the community and the public in general.
The book is similar in style to The People of Gariwerd, an Indigenous history of the Grampians ranges, also published by em PRESS. em PRESS has also published a high quality landscape photography book on the Grampians-Gariwerd.
em PRESS will be publishing a walking guide to the 210km Goldfields Track in March/April 2012. Launched this year, the Goldfields Track links Ballarat to Bendigo. Gib Wettenhall, the publisher owner of em PRESS, is the Publications Officer for the Great Dividing Trail Association, which produces the track maps and brochures for the Goldfields Track.
em PRESS Publishing specialises in south-east Australian landscapes and their historical and cultural contexts. em PRESS is particularly interested in fusing Indigenous, European settler and nature-based readings of the landscape to provide a deeper and more complex viewpoint of our country.
