Desert Writing: Stories from country

In September 2013, just before the weather turned even more intense, a group of intrepid writers made their way to three Australian desert settings to work with groups and individuals wishing to write. Both Aboriginal people with a profound connection to country and residents of more recent arrival who had made the choice to live in remote places participated in workshops. You'll read new voices and hear perspectives on living in extreme geographical and climactic regions in today's Australia. Workshop facilitators included Marie Munkara and Ktima Heathcote at Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, Ali Cobby Eckermann and Lionel Fogarty in Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia and Kim Mahood and Terri-ann White in Mulan in Western Australia.
