In the late 19th century, South Australia was in the grip of a mighty drought. Farmer’s wives had almost no agency – they were chattel, like the land itself, which had in turn been stolen. It was the women who carried the mercilessness of the men’s rage against the land. Adapted from the poem Dust by Anna Spargo-Ryan.
