Memoirs from the Corner Country takes the reader on a journey through one of the harshest terrains in outback Australia. May Hunt, a Malyangapa woman from Milparinka made a life for herself and her children where dust storms swirled off the Simpson Desert, and gibber-covered plains shimmered in the midday heat.

May Hunt’s story traverses the Depression era when mechanisation began its inward journey to the backblocks and swaggies tramped the dusty roads.

Memoirs from the Corner Country looks at the hardships of a nomadic family life, community relationships and the enduring struggle of a single mother with eight children. (publisher blurb)
