Rick Morton in conversation with Robin Pearson

A fresh modern look at country Australia with nearly forty stories by established and emerging authors from a wide range of backgrounds.

We are delighted to welcome back Rick Morton (The Saturday Paper, The Drum, writer and commentator) who is heading our way with a new anthology he has edited. Growing Up in Country Australia is a fresh modern look at country Australia with nearly forty stories by established and emerging authors from a wide range of backgrounds. There are stories of joy, adventure, nostalgia, connection to nature and freedom, but also more grim tales of drought, fires, mouse plagues and isolation. Contributor Meg Sattler will also be in attendance.
