AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Kathleen McArthur was born in 1915, the same year as her cousin Mary Durack and her lifelong friend Judith Wright. The three women are also linked by the way that their work gave expression to their deeply felt connection to place. Kathleen and Judith became friends in the early 1950s as their shared passion for "wildflowrering" grew into a shared commitment to conservation. Margaret Somerville s book is about the \way Kathleen McArthur inhabited places - her childhood home at Coorparoo, and later Caloundra, Currimundi, Cooloola and the Pumicestone Passage. Her connection to these places brought her self into being, and her representations of them raised public awareness of their beauty and significance.' (Introduction)
