The Water Dreamers the Remarkable History of Our Dry Continent
Winner, Colin Roderick Award, 2010. For thousands of years, water has shaped settlement in Australia. The water dreamers believed the country could be transformed by irrigation and hydro-engineering. Today, thanks to their vision, many of our rivers are in crisis and, more than ever, Australians realise that our destiny will be shaped by water.

"The ways Australians live and think have been shaped by water; or rather by the lack of it. The Water Dreamers tells the story of the settlement of Australia and how our culture has been shaped by the scarcity of water and by the need to fill the imagined silence of the continent with the sounds of civilisation."
