Summary
We are in a mythical landscape on the banks of a mighty river. The Yorta Yorta know him as Dhungula. The white fellas call it The Murray. A clan of storytellers has gathered to invoke the beautiful place they once knew; to sing it into being. Some are stories of remembering, others are told so that they may never happen again. Children and elders, spirits and ghosts, dingoes and min-min lights are threaded together in these tales of colonial law, a people and their land. The land rights struggle of the Yorta Yorta people continues today. Revised edition contains introduction by Wayne Atkinson
