AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Whyalla is only four hours drive from Adelaide by way of Australia's Highway 1, but in many ways it exists in a different age to the cosmopolitan boulevards and bucolic hinterlands of the state capital. Some people are born here and never leave until they die. For everyone else there is no seasonal migration, only exodus; sometimes there is a golden year abroad. and e land yields wheat and grain, yet the fields and riverbanks are seeded with heavy metals and contaminants. and e fishing je"y is dilapidated, but it will be rebuilt. A kid can still trade baitfish for snapper among the crowds casting in at dusk.' (Publication abstract)

The lever-arch file of paperwork you need to complete. The need to look queer was all the more urgent. We need programs that help. they needed to stop.' (Editorial introduction) 2019 pg. 5-10
