'A quirky and unblinking look at anthropologist, activist, botanist and eccentric Olive Pink in the Red Centre. She sustained a 40-year, one-woman campaign on behalf of Aboriginal peoples until her death in Alice Springs in 1975.
'Music for string quartet plus the (now enchantingly distressed) first piano in Alice, brought up on the back of a camel. Underpinning the work are Miss Pink's increasingly acerbic and disheartened letters to her doctoral professor at the University of Sydney.'
