“Several universities and colleges in Australia, Europe, and the U.S. have adopted the books for their classroom, but I know several other institutions that plan to add the paperback edition to their reading lists,” she said. Her interest in the subject is a passion that stems from a lifelong obsession. “My uncle Michael introduced me to Indigenous culture from a young age. My specific interest in

BELINDA Wheeler’s book, A Companion to Australian Aboriginal Literature has reached number one on the Amazon Australian and Oceanian Literary Criticism best seller list. Ms Wheeler was born and raised in Stanthorpe and moved to the United States in 2001 to further her academic career. The book was released in August 2013 but last month it managed to

crack the top spot on the Amazon list. “I was a little surprised that the book made the number one position. Also, it was for the hardcover edition that has a high price point (US$80),” Ms Wheeler said. The sales for the book have been so strong that a paperback edition will be released on 1 August, and it is already listed as the number one new release in the same category on Amazon.

Aboriginal literature began in earnest after I read Doris Pilkington Garimara’s Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence while I was completing my Bachelor’s degree in English. Her book opened my eyes up to an aspect of Aboriginal life that I was not previously aware, i.e. the Stolen Generations. After completing her book, I started reading as much Aboriginal literature that I could find,” she said. Continued on Page 3

ALL the talk locally over the last week has been the possibility of snow in the Southern Downs region. Last Friday there were predictions that it could possibly snow in Stanthorpe, that then changed to Tenterfield and ended with some snowfall on Mount Mackenzie. Tourists and weather chasers reportedly flocked to the towns from all corners of Queensland and New South Wales in the hope of catching a glimpse of the snow. Many were left with a hefty petrol bill but there was still something to put a smile on faces. Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales are currently in the middle of a cold front as icy weather from the Antarctic creeps north. Stanthorpe was predicted to drop to a low of -4 degrees on Wednesday. Picture: TRANCE-MEDIA SOUTHERN
