  abstract: "Red Earth is the remarkable history of the Mildura region, the northernmost part of Victoria. 'Mildura' is a Latje Latje word meaning 'red earth' or 'red banks', a reference to the intermittent stretches of red in the cliffs and banks of the Murray River near the junction with the Darling. Beginning with the region's deep history, Stuart Kells unfurls the fascinating layers of this story, much of which has never been told in book form. Kells captures the richness of the pre-colonial history, the migrant experience, the region as a tourist destination and a canvas for arts and culture, and other unique developments that shaped the region and influenced Australia and the world. Irrigations is central to Mildura's story, and Kells presents a new perspective on the Chaffey Brothers' land scheme, and Alfred Deakin's role in it. Above all, the book captures the human stories that are the backbone of the region's history. Red Earth is a richly illustrated landmark book, ambitious in its scope, meticulous in its methods and full of heart and human drama.
