Iris Burgoyne lives through phenomonal tides of change in this evocative extended family history from the Mirning and Kokatha people of South Australia's stormy west coast.

Notes

  • I dedicate this book to my children, my brothers and sisters and parents, who shared so much with me and became better people for their experiences. I also would like to dedicate this to all my nieces and nephews, those I have supported, grown up and stood by and who now have become decent citizens. I am very proud of their achievements.
