Through evocative prose and lyric verse, Giles Watson documents life in the teeming Eungendup wetlands on his own path to healing.

Nestled between Albany and Denmark in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, Eungedup is brimming with vibrant life, yet also threatened by developers. Drawn to this biodiverse wonderland, Watson’s immersion in the wetlands mirrors his own path to healing. His diary entries through the hot Noongar seasons of Kambarang, Birak, and Bunuru record life as the wetlands await seasonal renewal and the coming of rain.
