Travelling Alone Together / Ruby Camp

‘Travelling Alone Together’: It is 1993 and a group of elderly women are travelling the same route as the explorer Edward John Eyre on his 1840-41 expedition from Adelaide to Albany. Miriel Lenore uses this as the framework for her own explanations of the effects of gender, race, and generation on the individual and society. ‘Ruby Camp’: Crisp creates a radically new way of ‘knowing’ the East Gippsland bush. Her poetry evokes the Snowy River and it’s environs from a woman’s perspective, as well as the memory the land holds of the massacres of the indigenous Krauatungalung, Ngarigo and Bidwell people.
