'Through the gardens depicted in their Blue Mountains texts of the 1980s and
1990s, Australian writers Drusilla Modjeska and Kate Llewellyn forge a feminist
aesthetic in which the binaries of nature/culture, male/female and bush/city co-exist.
These texts depict Australia as a nation that no longer looks predominantly to Britain
but is a hybrid and transcultural entity which embraces its rich migrant experience.' Source: Elizabeth Hicks,
