Australia’s Love Affair with Fishing - Queenscliffe Literary Festival

  • Queenscliff Town Hall 50 Learmonth Street Queenscliff, VIC, 3225 Australia (map)

Clare Wright, author of Naku Dharuk The Bark Petitions, chats with historian Anna Clark.

Anna's new book is a personal account of her love of ‘the catch’ and an exploration of how fishing became a national pastime. Anna delves into favourite fishing spots, the passing down of fishing know-how, Indigenous fishing practices, and why we love ‘throwing a line’.
