1 Changes to Radio National Are Gutting a Cultural Treasure Trove Siobhan McHugh , 2016 single work column
— Appears in: The Conversation , 5 November 2016; 'RN is the home of big thinking, big ideas, and the national conversation,” the statement from ABC management said. It seems odd that, in pursuit of that notion, RN intends to halve the output of its documentary program, Earshot; cease almost all music broadcasting; abort its flagship sound art show, Soundproof, and a short-form storytelling show, PocketDocs; and dispense with the services of respected religious broadcaster John Cleary as well as seven music and features producers. ...'

'Eva Fischer has moved to the top of the world - Cabramurra, the highest town in Australia. Eva feels on top of the world too. Surrounded by people of every nationality, Eva makes new friends and tries foreign food - such as pizza. Eva also learns to ski and ride, and even learns that being half German maybe isn't so bad after all.

'Meanwhile, all around her, momentous things are happening. The Snowy Mountains Scheme is under way, huge dams have been built, tunnels constructed, homes abandoned, people lost . . .

'This is rollicking tale about life amongst post-war migrants working on the scheme, and culminating in a near-disastrous encounter with Prime Minister Menzies.' (Publication summary)
