Description
Tonight we are talking all about islands - those wonderful remote places that harbour some of the most unique landscapes and eco-systems, inspire some of the greatest literary adventures and forays into the human psyche and in their isolation can hide some of the worst abuses and dirtiest secrets.
We talk with two authors who explore this unrestricted nature of islands by drawing on their own experiences.
First up, Robert Drewe dropped by to talk with Neda Vanovac about the British nuclear tests on the Montebello islands off the WA coast in the 1950s.
Jon Doust chats with Will Mumford about his new novel, To the Highlands - the second addition to his trilogy that chronicles the stages of a young man's development.
And Allan Browne reads his poem, The Three Little Bops, featured in his first collection of poetry, Conjuror.
