'I was about to begin writing this review when I read an article by Grace Karskens in the latest Griffith Review, concerning a visit she recently made to Dyarubbin (aka the Hawkesbury River) in the company of three Darug women and the historian/archaeologist Paul Irish. Together they are uncovering the Aboriginal history of the early settlers’ farms that flank the river – a hidden history that runs in parallel (and sometimes conflicts) with the well-known pioneer history of this country. The name of their project, ‘The Real Secret River: Dyarubbin’, instantly brings to mind Kate Grenville’s award-winning novel, which of course is set on the Hawkesbury.' (Introduction)
