What reading level is Across Australia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is hard to realise that any people would of their own accord trek from better country into such a miserable forsaken land as that now held by the Luritja. On the other hand, their occupation may date back to the remote time when, under more favourable conditions of climate. Central Australia was a land of flowing streams and luxuriant forests. As we have already said, the size of the watercourses and the gorges which they have hollowed out at once attract the attention of all travellers. The...y are out of all proportion to the present flow of water, and seem to afford the clearest possible evidence that continuous desiccation has been the leading feature in the recent history of Central Australia.
Though we only came across this one family at Ayers Rock, yet clear evidence of the presence of natives was afforded in the shape of numerous drawings made on the walls of shallow caves around the base of the rock. A few characteristic ones are shown in the accompanying VI DESERT REGION OF LAKE AMADEUS 117 drawings, which are reproductions, for the most part, of rock paintings in this part, but at the same time are characteristic of those met with in many places amongst the rocky ranges of Central Australia (Plate II).
