Riverina YouTube Sound Stories
‘I wonder if this town will stay the same or grow? I wonder if the people and children who live here will stay? I wonder. I wonder if the river is smiling as she flows and knows she will always belong here.’
‘Once upon a time in Tarcutta a bus full of celebrating teens stormed the well-loved hall. Once upon a time and four years older weathered and worn a real person who was there that night remembers all those people who made themselves ghosts.’
“I got this feeling that I am a different person in this town.”
