Goodbye Riverbank Bundle As a young women she

As a young women she left her homeland with her husband to live on cattle stations

When a group of desert children invite their school teacher

With a gentle storytelling style and finely crafted dialogue

It is almost as if country stands still as the sparse yet evocative text pays homage to the transition from dry season to wet season in a country that is like no other place in the world

Goodbye Riverbank Bundle As a young women sheWhen inland eastern Australia was forcibly taken from traditional owners by white settlers in the mid 19th century, the prize was river country. The Indigenous people of the Barwon and Namoi were pushed on to reserves, missions and stations. What that meant to those who survived the traumas of dispossession is told in these earthy, generous and lively stories from their descendants.
