High Country

The High Country by Jane and Phillip Ulman is a vintage program from 1985. Featuring the poetry of David Campbell and Douglas Stewart, it’s a portrait of a region which is geographically, historically and emotionally important to Australia. Poets have walked there and written about the wild region of the Snowy Mountains. Tom and Mollie Taylor spent a lifetime there. Recorded when they were both in their eighties, they evoke the spirit of the place in their recollections and anecdotes. The poems, the myths, the sounds of the mountains are the stuff of our folk history and memory.
Produced and presented by Mike Ladd
