āSometimes you need to repeat something a hundred times before a bell rings in the colony.ā
From the bestselling author Bruce Pascoe comes a deeply personal story about the consequences and responsibility of disrupting Australiaās history.
WhenĀ Dark EmuĀ was adopted by Australia like a new anthem, Bruce found himself at the centre of a national debate that often focussed on the wrong part of the story. But through all the noise came Black Duck Foods, a blueprint for traditional food growing and land management processes based on very old practices.
Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Harwood invite us to imagine a different future for Australia, one where we can honour our relationship with nature and improve agriculture and forestry. Where we can develop a uniquely Australian cuisine that will reduce carbon emissions, preserve scarce water resources and rebuild our soil. Bruce and Lyn show us that you donāt just work Country, you look, listen and care. Itās not Black Duck magic, itās the result of simply treating Australia like herself.
From the aftermath of devastating bushfires and the impact of an elderās death to rebuilding a marriage and counting the personal cost of starting a movement,Ā Black DuckĀ is a remarkable glimpse into a year of finding strength in Country at Yumburra.
