Download or read book Harnessing the River Murray written by Helen Stagg and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates the lives of those who were involved in the works which flowed from the River Murray Waters Act of 1915. The focus is on the first nine locks and weirs which were built by South Australia over a period of twenty years. Combining oral history and archival research, Helen Stagg shares stories of the construction communities whose itinerant lifestyle led to them being referred to as 'the great wandering class'. However, the communities are shown to have been relatively settled with their own school and with an active social and sporting calendar. Dances, silent movies, horse races, carnivals and occasional visiting entertainers provided a balance for the difficult living and working conditions. Health care was precarious and hardship affected many; work-time was reduced, accidents were common and tragedy took a toll but the people faced these issues together. The second part of the book consists of the memories of seven people who were children of lock builders. In addition, there are details of over 500 accidents, petitions signed by the lock families for services and a chronology of events. Today, irrigation and a reliable water supply sustain towns and cities along the Murray River and scores of riverboats enjoy ready transit through the locks. This book provides an insight into the life and times of the resilient people who harnessed the River Murray between 1915 and 1935.

Download or read book The Choke written by Sofie Laguna and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Choke is a mesmerising, harrowing and ultimately uplifting novel from the 2015 Miles Franklin winner. Winner of the 2018 Indie Book Award for Fiction! 'It is quite a feat to write characters with such nuance...in harnessing her storytelling facility to expose the flaws in the system with what is becoming trademark empathy, Laguna is an author proving the novel is a crucial document of the times.' - Louise Swinn, The Australian I never had words to ask anybody the questions, so I never had the answers. Abandoned by her mother and only occasionally visited by her secretive father, Justine is raised by her pop, a man tormented by visions of the Burma Railway. Justine finds sanctuary in Pop's chooks and The Choke, where the banks of the Murray River are so narrow it seems they might touch - a place of staggering natural beauty. But the river can't protect Justine from danger. Her father is a criminal, and the world he exposes her to can be lethal. Justine is overlooked and underestimated, a shy and often silent observer of her chaotic world. She learns that she has to make sense of it on her own. She has to find ways to survive so much neglect. She must hang on to friendship when it comes, she must hide when she has to, and ultimately she must fight back. The Choke is a brilliant, haunting novel about a child navigating an often dark and uncaring world of male power and violence, in which grown-ups can't be trusted and comfort can only be found in nature. This compassionate and claustrophobic vision of a child in danger and a society in trouble celebrates above all the indomitable nature of the human spirit. Sofie Laguna, winner of the 2015 Miles Franklin Literary Award for The Eye of the Sheep, once again shows she is a writer of rare empathy, originality and blazing talent.
