"Life and Times in the Republic of Broken Hill is a unique portrait of an iconic Australian town, a story told through powerful photographs of its people and a narrative that explores the heroic, tumultuous and sometimes dark history of one of our nation’s most famous outback communities. Through 168 pages of exquisitely crafted portraits by internationally-renowned photographer, Robin Sellick, fascinating text by award-winning journalist and author, Jack Marx – plus revealing insights from the subjects of the portraits themselves – the reader is given a vivid snapshot of the present and a lyrical journey through Broken Hill’s past. Thus 'Life and Times in the Republic of Broken Hill' is an entirely original publishing concept; a limited edition amalgam of art, history and travelogue that is both aesthetic and literary."
