Abstract

O'Gorman grounds this argument in a range of sites, stitching them together over seven chapters that explore the dynamic more-than-human histories of certain water landscapes. We are now perhaps overly familiar with accounts of the Murray-Darling Basin as a "biocultural terrain" (96) over which the effects of colonial (mis)management are writ large, not least because of O'Gorman's 2012 book I Flood Country i . Wetlands in a Dry Land: More-Than-Human Histories of Australia's Murray-Darling Basin: By Emily O'Gorman. [Extracted from the article]
