#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
A profound meditation on belonging and place, Debra Dank's remarkable memoir tells the story of Australia as much as it tells the story of her own family and ancestors. A Gudanji and Wakaja woman, Dank grew up in far-west Queensland in the 1950s and 60s, and she skilfully weaves the beauty and wonder of a rural childhood with the pain and dispossession that she, her people and her Country have faced over generations.
