Work Overview
Marree is a tiny town on the edge of the central deserts at the start of the Oodnadatta and Birdsville tracks. The little railway village was home to First Nations Peoples, Afghan Cameleers and Anglo settlers. The music evolves from the isolation and harsh conditions of the stark plains and follows the five teenage sisters - the composer's own mother and aunts - as they take the culture of their little town to the big city of Adelaide in the early part of last century in search of love and their own families.
