Abstract

This paper draws on Ross Gibson’s 7 Versions of an Australian Badland and braids together a number of narratives converging around Wagga’s Wiradjuri Reserve on the Murrumbidgee River including the murder of a school friend in the late 1980s, Wiradjuri and colonial history and my poetry sequence ‘Triggering Town’. While ficto-critical in style, it also deploys a geo-critical methodology: foregrounding spatial and geographical fields in terms of both narrative and literary inquiry.
