The Dying Darling

By Sarah Moles and Michael Pospischil

There's a lot to say about this magnificent river

Sometimes you could be forgiven for thinking of the Darling as the forgotten river. While governments scramble to resuscitate the River Murray, its sister river lies gasping for water. This splendid collection of descriptions and anecdotes provides the sorry prognosis for a river that is in poor economic health. You will be struck by the many concerned individuals and the collective understanding that no one person or industry is totally to blame. The river's current state reflects more on the ambitions of a growing Australian society who has not read the country well. Our challenge will be to restore the magnificent Darling River.

This book is a collection of stories and opinions of people whose lives are affected by the neglected state of the river.
