Is there a relationship between unwell minds and unwell rivers? Is there a connection between crime and corrupted waterways?

Ella Bancroft is a poet, an advocate, an activist, a potent voice full of vigour, love and fury. Most of all Ella Bancroft is Bundjalung, deeply connected to her ancestral lands and the water that gives her home its name. This is a story of weaving ourselves back into the fabric from which we were all born and have been so damagingly unpicked from – the great tapestry of nature, of which we are not separate, we are made of one and the same. So what is the price we pay - physically, emotionally, spiritually - when we turn our backs on the very water that runs through our own veins and how do we find our way back home? If ever there was a voice to lead us there, it is the voice of Ella Bancroft.
