Graham Ackhurst and Robbie Arnott

Published...Or Not

The challenge of finding your indigenous identity and heritage as an adolescent is explored in Graham Akhurt's novel, 'Borderland' where landscape, social assumptions and career potential all collide for Jono.Robbie Arnott highlights the changing attitudes and expectations of a society in 'Limberlost' as Ned grows into adulthood. The forces that shape Ned are mythic and not always kind but his development, in many ways, is tied to the landscape of Tasmania. (This is a repeat broadcast).
