Timeless Land is considered a ground-breaking regional book which now has become popular with the public throughout NZ. Accentuating the fact that New Zealanders have a great love of the land, the book showcases the stunningly beautiful Central Otago. A region which is represented by the works of three steadfast and individual talents. The book is beautifully presented with iconic images and words. It features over 50 of Grahame Sydney's finest paintings of Central Otago. Sydney is renown for conveying the subtlety of light and shadow, of mood, and for showing us the majestic durability of the land. Brian Turner's poems complement the paintings with remarkable synchronicity, and Owen Marshall's stories bring a human element to the whole. Sam Neill has written the Introduction.
