David Nash

I think there's several hounds in the audience here, I guess.

David Nash, who might be here, who's a new linguist who we've been in correspondence throughout this research and who's been wonderful in his forensic eye for language.

and others who've tested Alice's work, botanists, military historians, even there's an ANU mathematician who's recently written to me who's relied on and investigated some of the mathematics involved in Indigenous telegraphy that Alice, smoke telegraphy that Alice investigates and records.

It's a rich resource for us on not just Mythica and other Aboriginal cultures, but on a period when all these cultures are in flux in a time of war and where refugees are moving across the landscape of Alice's childhood, where Mooraberry becomes a place of refuge, a rare sanctuary in a time of violence and trauma and horror, a landscape of terror.
