— Review of Our Fathers Cleared the Bush : Remembering Eyre Peninsula Jill Roe , 2016 single work autobiography
'When Jill Roe was a schoolgirl in Adelaide she completed a major project on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia for her Leaving examination in geography. At 130 pages, handwritten in pen and ink in an exercise book with handdrawn maps and diagrams, drawings and pressings of native flora, and illustrated with photographs taken with a Box Brownie camera, it was a substantial piece of work. As she says in the introduction to this book, it took her a long time to return to the study of Eyre Peninsula; we are lucky that she did.'
