Swedish photographer Håkan Ludwigson made his first trip to the Northern Territory in 1980 after swapping the fashion world for the dusty Australian Outback.
The book tells the story of men and women working intensely hard while seeking some kind of solitude and sense of space in the midst of harsh conditions.
While Ludwigson spent months with his subjects, decades later, he's now interested in finding them again.
On his website, Ludwigson says, "30 years have passed but I still have such vivid memories of all of you whom I met and photographed during my journeys in Outback Australia."
Balls and Bulldust describes life in Australia’s Outback as, "...a lifelong routine. The young are attracted by its romanticism, but are often shattered by its hardships."
"Days are blistering hot, nights are cold; people sleep on 'swags' on the ground for weeks; the food is drab; red dust is ever-present."
In 2015, Ludwigson just wants to find his subjects.
