Overview

In a time of overwhelming change, an Aboriginal family weathers settler and state violence to hold on to what’s important. Wil is left to fend for themselves, until they’re befriended by Nanna Essie’s family. Remaining firmly on Country, Aunty Gwen brings mob together for healing. Pearlie escapes from a children’s institution and devotes her life to helping other stolen children return home. Can a rebellious willy-willy help lead them all to freedom?

Spanning over 150 years, this beautifully woven historical saga follows Pearlie, Wil, Gwen and the generations around them as they protect family and Country. Whichway Shimmering Dust is a richly imagined work of truth-telling and a homage to members of the Stolen Generations.
