Emily, aged eight, and her younger brother, Gary, have to change schools mid year. When she puts away her clothes she finds an old diary wedged at the back of a set of drawers. It belongs to Laura, born in 1920. Emily takes a journey through Laura’s life seeing how things have changed, yet stayed the same in some ways.

  • Chapter 19: Murrumbidgee River Catchment
    19 Murrumbidgee River Catchment Sydney Morning Herald, 10 March 1915 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 19-1 STOCKING THE BARREN JACK DAMS TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD Sir, - A short time since a paragraph appeared in the “Herald” re stocking the dams at Barren Jack with economic fish, i.e. cod, perch etc. A request was sent to the Fishery Department to take the matter in hand, and an expert was detailed to carry out the suggestion. This expert’s idea was to capture fish in the reaches of the Lower Murrumbidgee, and transplant them to the said dam. Instead of so doing it will be far better to permit the dams to be stocked by or with the fish that are in thousands above the dam. They are precisely of the same species as will be obtained from the stretches of the same river lower down. The young fish that are in the waters above the dams will be sure to make for the deeper waters: it is their natural habitat – the larger and deeper the waterholes in rivers the larger its fish inhabitants. The writer has seen young perch and cod-fish in the Murrumbidgee and its tributaries near Cooma by the thousand. Then why take the trouble and go to the expense to take fish from one part of the river, and dump them down among the same species in another part of the same river? “Coals to Newcastle” again. The great flood that occurred two or three months ago in the upper parts of the Murrumbidgee gave ample proof that the codfish etc.
