Synopsis

In the 1950s, Eaglehawk boys had fun. Liz Low wanted to get out of the house and play with them as if she were another boy. This meant taking risks: playing on the old mine poppet heads, climbing rooftops and roaming around on her bike. She was aware of the danger of `men’. As the doctor’s daughter she was observed, but that didn’t bother her. Nor did she let attendance at a private girls’ school and the local church rein her in. Her imagination was fired by reading about adventures by competent children. The hot, dry Eaglehawk summers made her long for the pool, and she swam wherever she could. Her `free range’ experiences involved a precarious balance between freedom and security.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Liz Low was born into the post-war years in a small, poor, dry, former goldmining town in rural Australia. She was educated at the University of Melbourne and taught English and Geography in secondary state schools. On early retirement, she took a Fine Arts (Ceramics) degree at RMIT, leading to a second career as a ceramic artist. On retirement from ceramics, she finally had room in her head to write.
