Notes

  • Editorial note in Cau Noi says that Matilda is not her real name, but a means to get through cultural barriers. 'The name obviously came from the song 'Walzing Matilda', which was the first Australian song she was taught to sing at her English class after her arrival in Australia.' (p. 53)
