1970, 19 Minutes.

Almost 90 per cent of arid lands are used by someone at some time for some purpose. Why are people attracted to the deserts with their high temperature, lack of water and poor soils? How have they adapted to this environment? What effect have they had on the environment? 

Man in the Desert examines the lives of Aboriginal people, cattle growers and miners - those who live in the “wasteland” of Australia’s deserts.
