AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Squeaker's Mate is based on Barbara Baynton's short story of the same name, first published in Bush Studies (a selection of nightmarish tales that reflect bush life as through a distorting mirror). The story is set in Gippsland in 1880 and concerns a woman who, after being disabled in a logging accident, is cruelly discarded by the man with whom she shares a primitive outback farm.
