Rough as Guts presents a vivid photographic and narrative portrait of Australia’s rugged interior, chronicling the lives, landscapes, and resilience of people shaped by isolation and elemental hardship. Douglass Baglin and Barbara Mullins construct a visual ethnography that illustrates the raw beauty and unforgiving conditions of the outback, capturing the spirit of communities built on grit, resourcefulness, and endurance. The book argues that Australia’s cultural identity is inseparable from its physical extremities, where survival demands both toughness and humor. Through striking images and candid commentary, it documents a subsistence lifestyle that defies romanticism, offering an unvarnished look at bush life. As a cultural artifact, it remains a compelling tribute to the character and terrain of remote Australia.
