Description

Australia's major river system is collapsing. Parts of it are dying; parts of it are already dead.

Australia's most significant river no longer reaches the sea.

I look out into the dim autumn light and wonder once again how it has come to this . . . In The River, Chris Hammer takes us on a journey through Australia's heartland, following the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin, recounting his experiences, his impressions, and, above all, stories of the people he meets along the way.

It's a journey punctuated with laughter, sadness and reflection. The River looks past the daily news reports and their sterile statistics, revealing the true impact of our rivers' decline on the people who live along their shores, and on the country as a whole.

It's a tale that leaves the reader with a lingering sense of nostalgia for an Australia that may be fading away forever.
