Join us to hear Chris Hammer in conversation about The River

Tuesday 8 July, 6.00pm
Readings Hawthorn

Join us to hear Chris Hammer in conversation about his bestselling classic book, The River: A Journey through the Murray-Darling Basin

Join award-winning author Chris Hammer on a journey through Australia's largest river system, the Murray-Darling Basin. His travels during the crippling millennium drought take us through riverland communities, sharing the laughter, sadness and reflections of the people he meets along the way.

First published in 2010, The River continues to be read as a history, as a prophecy – and as both. This updated edition includes a new introduction from the author.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
