| Description | This article analyzes a contemporary Australian memoir and travelogue, Kim Mahood's Cry For A Dry Lake (2000), as a postcolonial text which, through employing the poetics of ambivalence, both subsribes to and transgresses the tradition of Australian narratives of representing the Outback. |
