… great to have a cover photo (and more pics inside) in the the current edition of The Australian Weekend Magazine … running with a story on former journalist colleague, Walkley Award and Prime Minister’s Prize for Literature winner now author, Nicolas Rothwell and his talented co-author wife Alison Nampitjinpa Anderson.
It’s long been a pleasure to work alongside Nicolas whenever we crossed paths … a supreme journalist when at The Australian for decades covering International news stories, indigenous affairs, arts … and more.
Nicholas and Alison have now co-authored the book “Yilkari – A Desert Suite” … launching July 29th by Text Publishing … a fictional tale centred on Alison’s Western Desert Luritja-Pintupi country in the Northern Territory.
So … it was a great thrill for me to be re-acquainted with Nicolas … and meet Alison … in their remote Great Dividing Range hideaway … and take a few images.
The Australian Weekend Magazine piece … entitled “The Talented Mr Rothwell” written by Caroline Overington … runs over six pages documenting Nicolas and Alison’s life, work and authorship.
A distinct pleasure and a nice pic run too 🙂 … below is the magazine cover, a portrait of Nicolas which runs over the entirety of page 14 … and a cosy pic of the two of them on page 17.
