Else Fitzgerald has written over 20 connected short stories through the grief of drought, fire and floods and into the uncertain future where humans have become genetically adapted to cope, but what about their own desires and hopes in ‘Everything Feels Like the End of the World’.         ‘The Settlement’ is Jock Serong’s fictional account of true historical events when George Augustus Robinson attempted to resettle Tasmanian aborigines on a remote island. It is testament to colonial practices that were not only short sighted but cruel.
