Picturing sound and song at the Murray river crossing place

This piece argues that documentary evidence drawn from George Robinson's journal and Lady Jane Franklin's letter, twelve months earlier, demonstrate the Murray River police hut and its surrounds were a 'contact zone', that is places where people, long separated geographically and historically, encountered each other, and where they were beginning to establish ongoing relations. This is 'a place of evocation', that is a place for sharing stories among Indigenous and non-Indigenous people relating to the productive lives pursued nearby before the intrusion of Europeans and stories relating to the impact of that intrusion.
