Learning the Local Language : Starting Over Again, Lea McInerney , single work essay
'It was in a Melbourne museum that I realised I didn't know the traditional name for the area in South Australia where I'd grown up. I was leaning over a large map of Victoria carved into wood and displayed on a low table. On it, the boundaries of the state's thirty-eight Aboriginal language groups were marked out. Within each one was a button. Touch it and a voice pronounced the name.' (Publication abstract)
