Spydus Search Results - Collection: Local Studies

My future town / edited by Natalie Collie, Karen Hollands, Isobelle Carmody.

This collection of short stories, poetry, and illustration invites readers to imagine the future of regional Queensland. The anthology is the product of a year-long collaboration between local communities, the University of Queensland, and the Western Downs Regional Council. High school students across the region were invited to participate in a two-way creative writing workshop, led by awarding-winning author Dr Isobelle Carmody, focused on science fiction and the craft of world-building. Some of the pieces they developed are cautiously optimistic. Many are more dystopia in tone. All speculate in some way on the impact of planetary-scale change - climate, technology, disease, war - on the life of local towns, communities, and ecologies. Together, the fragments assembled here weave a complex, diverse vision of our future that is equal parts troubling and hopeful.

Chinchilla's communal settlers / Veronica Dawson.

This book provides a well researched history of the co-operative settlement scheme and of the three Chinchilla groups that formed part of it. However it goes well beyond that. Unusual in its approach, the book provides appeal for both the historian and the family historian.
