DESCRIPTION:

It is a time of change in Australian society – ‘the swinging sixties’ are about to challenge many of the social conventions documented in this story - feminism, black power, anti Vietnam demonstrations, the pill and mini-skirts are just over the horizon. Towards the end of the novel the Commonwealth Referendum of 1967 passes which ends constitutional discrimination against Aboriginal people who are since then counted in the national census. This adds to the poignancy of the story. Set in the wheatbelt area of Western Australia in the 1960s, this is a family and town drama that has as backdrop the radical societal changes that were taking place at the time in Austraila and the rest of the world. Ages 14+
