'A young boy calls on a mountain to 'cry me a river' and the mountain responds by sending crystal tears that run down and form a beautiful and life-giving river. But as the river leaves the mountain it gathers pollutants until it empties its poisons in the sea and the mountain asks the boy, in turn, to cry for the river.'

But she's a very old woman and She has long hair down to her knees. Dirrangun is well-known near Grafton and along the north coast of New South Wales. Both the Bunjalung and Githavul people speak of her and of her connection with local landmarks. She is a powerful woman.' (Source: Publishers website)
