The year is 1957 - Sally Gare is 21. It’s her second year as a teacher at the Forrest River Mission, some 3,000 kilometres north from Perth. Joining Sally at the Mission is Randolph Stow, aged 22 years. A strong bond of friendship is formed, as the two young people navigate life in the remote outback landscape. Fast forward some 40 years - it is 1998 and Stow gifts a treasure trove of memorabilia to the Library - bringing with it intimate recollections from the past.
Join West Australian poet Caitlin Maling in conversation with Sally Herzfeld (Gare), as they discuss Stow, the memories that spill over from this time, and the career of a remarkable teacher and her life-changing adventure in the remote north-west of Australia.
